Twenty Four Hours in Iran
Twenty Four Hours in Iran
By Debra Louise Scott and the People of Iran
A Collection of Twitter Posts Leading up to the Massacre in Iran on Wednesday, June 24, 2009
The nature of Twitter is to pass on information, fast. Most posts bear the mark ‘RT’ which means in some cases that it is a ReTweet (reposted) and in other cases is a request for others to ReTweet. Some repost without using the RT. Given this, it is difficult to determine when and from whom exactly a tweet originated. There are also fake reports, and fake video links.
Before each post below is a time stamp, listed by hours, minutes, and seconds (i.e. 2h, 25m, 10s). These are based on when the screen was last refreshed. In Twitter, under each post, it lists the post as being, for example, 2 minutes ago, so in my collection below it is listed as 2m. Because I was looking at several different people’s sites, and the time stamp kept changing, there may be some errors in the timeline.
At a certain point, the time stamp begins repeating. That is because the situation was changing rapidly, and I would refresh frequently. It is not uncommon to find that several hundred tweets post in a matter of seconds. This is only a small portion of what is out there.
Further notes about this collection appear at the end of the piece.

2m More than 10 family members of detainees arrested in front of Rev. Court, Sec forces crack down
Further notes: There are many pleas from the protesters to NOT publish the handles/names of the tweeters, as they are being tracked by the government. In that spirit, I have left off the names of all posts, unless it is from a public source such as a news station or western reporter. But given the RT issue, there may be some posts that originated from news sources that were not attributed as such in the post. Please excuse me if I have posted something that should list a source that would be copy written material, it’s not intentional plagiarizing.
I tried to check out the individuals from whom I copied posts, to confirm as well as possible that they were actively involved in the conflict, not someone spreading disinformation, or someone posting from afar. Many people worldwide have changed their location and GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) factor to Iran, to make it more difficult for the government to track the protesters, so I did not give much credence to the listed location, only that the content appeared genuine. The words are posted with spelling grammar mistakes intact. When a post is in Farsi, a translation using Google translator is given in parenthesis although it often appears to be translating incorrectly)
Shortly after CNN began showing reports of the chaos, Governor Sanford held a press conference about his extramarital affair. CNN switched over to cover that for the rest of the afternoon, the situation in Iran all but forgotten.

Further notes: There are many pleas from the protesters to NOT publish the handles/names of the tweeters, as they are being tracked by the government. In that spirit, I have left off the names of all posts, unless it is from a public source such as a news station or western reporter. But given the RT issue, there may be some posts that originated from news sources that were not attributed as such in the post. Please excuse me if I have posted something that should list a source that would be copy written material, it’s not intentional plagiarizing.
I tried to check out the individuals from whom I copied posts, to confirm as well as possible that they were actively involved in the conflict, not someone spreading disinformation, or someone posting from afar. Many people worldwide have changed their location and GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) factor to Iran, to make it more difficult for the government to track the protesters, so I did not give much credence to the listed location, only that the content appeared genuine. The words are posted with spelling grammar mistakes intact. When a post is in Farsi, a translation using Google translator is given in parenthesis although it often appears to be translating incorrectly)
Shortly after CNN began showing reports of the chaos, Governor Sanford held a press conference about his extramarital affair. CNN switched over to cover that for the rest of the afternoon, the situation in Iran all but forgotten.
