- First is a video from several protesters shot down in Isfanhan (city in central Iran) - (warning, extremely graphic)
- Second videos show massive groups of demonstrators chanting: "death to dictator", "with assistance from God victory is immediate, death to the government that lies to the people"
- Third video shows a group that is looking for a knife as well as matches to set a turned over car on fire
- Fourth video shows demonstrators calling others to come forward, telling them to not be scared, to hold their ground.
- Fifth video shows a group of demonstrators (including many women) who chant "cannons, tanks, basiji are not affective anymore" and eventually a woman leads the group into the chant of "death to dictator".
- Eight video shows an older man beaten on his head. He is comforted by being told: "this is done only to cause fear. Go home now. its ok."
- Tenth (very grainy and sideways) video shows two people having found an empty canister of tear gas and are trying to find out where it has been manufactured: "Is it made in US? Is it made in Isreal?"
- Last video is taken from a balcony from the clashes bellow. The women talk about the bravery of the demonstrators, they wish them strength and wonder if they should chant "Allaho Akbar". They also comment on how the battle is fought Palestinian style with stones. They observe that the authorities are not armed by guns and only carry batons. They begin to cheer and shout down calls of "well done!" as the police is forced to pull back. At the every end the video is abruptly ended as a man in the background warns them that they are being filmed themselves.
* Also, there are reports that those who go to the hospital from their injuries sustained during demonstrations are arrested in hospitals.
* A video of the demonstrators being beaten:

* A video showing the alleged basiji house that was put on fire today (Saturday June20th - Shooters can be clearly seen half way in the video as well as their rapid gun fire that can be heard.
