7. Missing and probably arrested, says Time.

Life magazine says the Iranian photographer who submitted this photo of protests in Tehran is now missing and probably arrested. Here is a gallery of the photographer's work with a note from Life. http://www.life.com/image/ugc1002722/in-gallery/28782/eyewitness-from-tehrans-streets
It's unknown if the photographer is counted among the 24 journalists and bloggers who have been reported arrested, among them Ali Mazroui, the head of the Association of Iranian Journalists, who was grabbed Sunday morning. Stories by the LAT's Borzou Daragahi continue to carry a Tehran dateline. At least 13 people were reported killed Saturday after protesters defied government orders not to assemble. The daughter and other relatives of former President Hashemi Rafsanjani also were arrested.

Twitter's impact for Andrew Sullivan: "As I have spent the past week hunched over a laptop, channelling and broadcasting as much information, video and debate about the momentous events in Iran, nothing quite captured the mood and pace of events like the tweets coming from the people of Iran." Times of London

3. His pictures are excellent. The one you posted is one of my favorites.

I've been following updates on Twitter. It is a compelling and very upsetting story. These are very brave people.

Incredible video here:

It is an interesting blog, though I certainly cannot verify its authenticity.

5. Re: veracity, still nothing on Google News search about this.

Maybe Huffington Post will get it, they seem to have been in the lead on breaking news.
