Saturday 18 Jul 09
Mahdiye, a 20-year-old student taking part in the “silent march” protesting the election results in Tehran last Monday, told a reporter for the New York Times, “We don’t really have a leader.” (New York Times, June 16, 2009.) She added, “Mousavi wants to do something, but they won’t let him. It is dangerous for him, and we don’t want to lose him. We don’t know how far this will go.”
