if you listen to one thing from Iran

There is a transcript at the site for my hearing impaired friends; if you can do the audio though, I encourage you to do so, and I wish my ASL was good enough to do an ASL video of this, because the tonal quality is pretty amazing, but my skill just isn't there without devoting the entire day to it.

Video that the audio is with is not graphic -- just shows Iran maps and stuff.

The audio is very, very hard to listen to, both for its descriptions of violence and for the emotion in this woman's voice.

The material is from CNN. Please do not be unwilling to listen to it, because of where I've linked you to (a blog called "Liberal for Life").

...thanks for linking to the entire transcript. I saw an excerpt quoted on the Guardian, but didn't know someone'd transcribed the entire video.

Harrowing stuff indeed.

Dear gods, I can't think of anything to say in response other than hoping the situation there improves.

thank you for thinking of the hearing impaired people on your flist (myself included). even just reading the transcript sent chills up my spine, especially the "you have to help us!"
