Update II: New footage of Police violence against women (link).
Update: Shocking scenes of Police Brutality against people arrested, and not tried, for illegal activities, including drugs, alcohol, and selling satellite dishes (link).
Masih has published these two pictures from the recent Police Brutality against “improper veiled” women in Iran.
The recent Police brutality against women, because of their “improper” veils, has caused disgust and anger in the Iranian blogosphere. Although some bloggers were initially worried that revealing the injured women’s face may put her in danger of prosecution, the very picture of a women with bloody face has been circulated in the Internet, both inside and outside Iran. Balatarin, the Iranian Digg, created a hot topic to cover the story. Right after the first picture was linked in Balatarin, it hit a record high in terms of number of votes, comments and clicks.
The anger is not a matter of political view. Simply, the mainstream blogosphere is up on their feet. These are some reactions inside Iran.
Oops! The game got bloody!
Taliban in Tehran.
Am I weak or you are?
What is this place?
Chief of Police! I assure you these pictures will not find their way to newspapers. Masih also provides more pictures of the incident, shown in the above.
These women have the heart of a lion.
Yesterday, 7-Tir square [where the incident happened] smelled like blood.
Animal brutality still exists in Iran.
Thank you.
Who is responsible, the one who oppresses or the one who accepts it.
We are the outcomes of dictatorship.
I hate brutality.
One strap of hair is the distance between improper veil and a bloody face.
I hate Iran [not the exact translation].
Civil insecurity program.
Human being’s personality.
On the grave of humanity.
State of fear.
Sever struggle of Police and people in 7-Tir.
I am not even sure that this list is close to complete. Bloggers have also issued a public invitation for condemnation of the brutality.

[...] Kamangir has a pretty thorough summary of what is going on and links to some of the major Iranian bloggers who are writing about the sudden attacking of women who are walking and driving in western attire rather than veiled. Some of the sites are in Persian which I can’t read and some are in Arabic and in English. [...]

How can a reasonable man do that to a woman? Where is the support from womens groups from outside the country? I am a grown man but these pictures make me angry and sad at the same time. And despite the beating that this woman has taken you can still see the fire in her eyes. The picture of her in the cab says you can beat me and hurt me but you cannot take my spirit and soul.

Perhaps it will be the brave women of Iran that initialize the revolution. Wouldn’t that be a slap in the mullahs face.
I support the brave Iranian women in their fight for freedom!

Unveiled women are animals in Iran…
Where is the MSM on this one???? Where are the Feminazis??? Over in Iran if a woman is caught without her veil she can be beaten up and jailed. This is the kind of people the Defeatocarats and the 9/11…

You know, we have a war against Iraq, and thousands of Iraqi women die every month now because of it. It would be easy to produce hundreds of pictures of bloody women in Iraq, and yet there would not be as much attention ever.
