New Yorker seeks knowledge on Iranian student movement

I am a student in New York City and have seen what our protests look like and how our government reacts. Recently there has been an escalation in the student democracy movement in Tehran. The BBC reports that right wing militias and secret police are attacking the people's movement that seeks to get rid of the corrupt and powerful and bring democracy and basic freedoms. But I do not want the BBC's opinion. I would like to know the opinions and stories of those in Tehran. I am amazed at the courage that students as well as ordinary people have shown. However, I can find nothing on the IMCs about Iran. If someone who is involved in the Iranian demonstrations reads this or if someone knows an English website with their words on it could you please email me and tell me a firsthand account of what is happening. I am always hearing that students are in solidarity with each other, your struggle is just and noble, if I knew how to help I would.
