times in EST, add 8:30 to get Iranian time, 4:00 to get GMT

[*] 4:49est: Twitter has gone down for maintenance, they said one hour. No contact from Iran yet, informing all of downtime
[*] 5:09est: Besiji moving into Tehran university in force.

5:11est: Many bikes and buses in Shiraz being burnt and piled on street. Unconfirmed

5:15est: All news from Tehran University has gone silent

5:30est: Haven't heard news in 15 minutes. From anyone, not even rumors.

5:38est: Massive assault in Tehran University? Getting reports of anything from 200 to 5000 Besij. Students standing in doorways with chairs, waiting for raids.

5:40est: leaving for a while, twitter will be back before I am.

5:41est: Basij seen taking away many students from Tehran University. Most likely to Evin Prison, but that's just my impression

Claims to be vid of the raid.

Mirror; youtube has taken some vids down. Don't let important data get lost.

I think they're going to get more violent once all the journos are kicked out finally.
