Iran's Green Movement: The Voices of Dissent
Iran's opposition Green Movement grew out of public anger at suspected voter fraud in the June 12, 2009, presidential election, leading to demands for new elections. The movement was fueled by widespread Internet access that allowed disparate groups to connect through social networking, as well as by a youth bulge, rising youth unemployment, and women's issues. The Ahmadinejad regime suppressed the uprising with brutal crackdowns on demonstrators, and the Green Movement has since struggled to regroup.

Iran's Revolutions: Crash Course World History 226
In which John Green teaches you about Iran's Revolutions. Yes, revolutions plural. What was the the1979 Iranian Revolution about? It turns out that Iran has a pretty long history of unrest in order to put power in the hands of the people, and the most recent revolution in 1979 was, at least at first, not necessarily about creating an Islamic state. It certainly turned out to be about that, but it was initially just about people who wanted to get rid of an oppressive regime. Listen up as John teaches you about Iran's long history of revolution.

01/06/2011 - In June 2009 the world's eyes were on Iran as people took to the streets in support of defeated presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi.

01/06/2011 - In June 2009 the world's eyes were on Iran as people took to the streets in support of defeated presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi.
Two years on President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has held onto the presidencey, although it is believed that the balance of power is moving away from him as he struggles with his former patron, Iran's spiritual leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei.
We will be discussing what is happening at the heart of Iran's government and examining what has happened to the people's movement since 2009 at June's First Wednesday.
What impact have the protests in the Arab world and the toppling of Egypt's and Tunisia's leaders had inside Iran? Are we likely to see protests on the scale of 2009 in the future?
Paddy O'Connell of BBC Radio 4's Broadcasting House will be back in the chair for June's First Wednesday, giving you the opportunity to question a panel of experts.
With:
Saeed Kamali Dehghan, award-winning Iranian journalist who writes for The Guardian. He was named 2010 Journalist of the Year at the Foreign Press Association Awards;
