Following today's protests, Iranian government has cut off our internet access. We can't even check Gmail & Yahoo mail. This might be sign of a second round of crackdown & here's what you can do about it.

Now, What does this blockade mean?

It could be a last-minute effort to prevent today's footage & pictures from getting out.
But it could also be sign of a second wave of arrests; they might try to arrest Musavi & Karrubi (Opposition leaders).

They would do it, if they know they can keep it silent for a while. But they will hesitate if they feel the world's watching (in the past, they have unblocked some websites, under international pressure)

How severe is the blockade?

Gmail & Yahoo mail are blocked. This is the most important case & is totally unprecedented in Iran. The reason it's so dangerous is: after the first round of crackdown, many persian news site were blocked. On the other hand, official Newspapers have received an order from Supreme National Security Council NOT to publish anything about Musavi, Opposition & election fraud anymore.
