After Iran tightened its grip further by beating and arresting protestors and those attending demonstrations against the Iran election results, a new Bazaar protest is planned for Wednesday.
The call came out over opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi's facebook page, posting a message from former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami.
From this Tuesday, at 9 every morning we will all go to the bazaar in our towns all over the country. If they prevent us, the bazaar will close. If they do not, there will be such congestion that the business will get interrupted and the bazaar will close. If they disconnect the telephone lines, again all activities will get interrupted and the bazaar will close. As much as possible, we will shut down the whole town and go to the bazaar to shut it down.

The new form of protest will take place silently throughout Iran in its thousands of Bazaars, without any signs or symbols of the demonstrators, not even hand signs. The message is to take all your family out and merely flood the bazaars with people and to buy nothing. If the militia get involved the bazaars, which supply much of the country's economy, will shut down.
Meanwhile, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Hamenei insisted that authorities would not yield to pressure 'at any cost'.
Ruling out political compromise after a harsh crackdown on the streets, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, insisted Wednesday the authorities would not yield to pressure from opponents demanding a new election following allegations of electoral fraud.
The announcement from the ruling government comes on the same day that leading Iranian human rights lawyer and Nobel peace prize winner said that Neda Agha Soltan's death was illegal and she would help represent the family.
Shirin Ebadi, a prominent Iranian human rights lawyer and Nobel peace prize winner, has told Al Jazeera that she is prepared to represent the family of a young woman shot dead during a protest in Tehran.

CIA, Iran and the Election Riots
Just see a person join youtube on 22nd June just to upload this fake video. I really surprise How can Obama comment on this event if his statement is based of this video.
On June 23, 2009, three days after her death, President Obama spoke of Neda with these words, "We have seen a courageous women stand up to brutality and threats, and we have experienced the searing image of that woman bleeding to death on the streets.
Is the Neda Soltan Video a Fake? Gary Trieste thinks it’s 85% probable
It was the shocking video that flashed around the world by the Internet. An at-the-scene moment, taken during the recent Iran election protest demonstrations.
The Neda Agha-Soltan video, shows a young woman in the street, having been struck down by a government sniper’s bullet.
The video shows her stunned, and collapsing backward to the ground while being let down gently by a man.
The woman peers sideways at the camera coming towards her, with an perturbing visage of resignation on her face, probably due to massive shock.
A closeup of her face suddenly reveals rivulets of blood streaming down the side of her mouth and then from her nose, while a doctor attempts to revive her.
In the background we can hear her friends trying encourage and console her. Heart rending sounds of anguish and cries come shortly thereafter when it is apparent she had succumbed to her injuries. Read More

I'm glad to hear Shirin Ebadi has agreed to defend her family. She says, "This act was against the law. Neda had not participated in the rally but, even if she had, they did not have the right to shoot her."
BTW, this is the same human rights lawyer that agreed to defend Roxana Saberi, when she was incarcerated there.
