Both are students who braved the streets of Tehran yesterday, and it is humbling
to include these images here. Mamnoom am, Kiyan and Hamid.

somehow find a way to come to their aid soon.

Mohamad Reza Shajarian. Structure for our grief.

UPDATE: A compeling narrative from an eye-witness in the Guardian.
Another incredible tale via CNN International.
