Those who did were corralled and beaten by the Basij in one of the university halls. Other students outside the radius of the official service were also beaten with batons and electric batons. Also, same sources reporting that cinema dept head Ali Akbar Alizad and at least seven students were arrested this morning. Alizad has now been released from custody, but many students' whereabouts unknown. They're saying there's increasing pressure on Jaleh's family to say that he was a regime supporter. They have refused thus far. *4:30 p.m.* *From Tehran*: I cannot connect to anyone using my laptop. The only way I can check emails is through my mobile and only via WIFI. The GPRS is also not working. BBC Persian programs are completely cut. SMS service is very limited. (By 2 p.m., slow internet service available again.) Last night there were guards everywhere. I couldn't go out. I wrote this poem instead. *To Roger Waters* *Luners on TV* The lights are out Windows shut And there is a short crazy bearded man who wants our throats cut Phones are controlled The Internet is blocked There is a communication breakdown And a crackdown and a showdown No nobility in faith anymore or faith in nobility No border for shame, no shame at all Only a disgusting portrait of a nation That was once great and now gone Only a disfigured statue of a faith That was once pure and now gone The Lunatics on TV Chanting death to us Madmen in the 'House of the People' Schizophrenic Systematically sadistic In jailing, maiming and shooting to kill My faith, my brothers and sisters my home We will not go down to a place where we can hide It's time to change the tide We will not let them shut us out or up And no matter how many wily Turks or Chinamen Sign contracts while we die in the streets Satisfy and make the lunatics pleased We will make our voices heard We will persevere This is our home not theirs. One would dream of violence, of cutting the heads off the lunes One would dream of doing, what they have done to us, those goons One would then think wait a minute hold on a second Maybe that is what the luners really want. *Tehran, Wednesday, February 16, 2011* *Clashes at Demonstrator's Tehran Funeral* BBC <http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12479022> | *Feb 16* Fresh clashes have erupted in Tehran during the funeral of a student killed in anti-government protests on Monday, Iranian state television says. Rival groups of pro- and anti-government protesters both claim the dead man as one of their supporters. Saneh Jaleh <http://to.pbs.org/hgQ9Dx>, 26, was among two people killed during Monday's protests, when thousands of opposition members rallied for the first time in more than a year. Wednesday's clash took place during Mr Jaleh's funeral procession, which started at Tehran University in the centre of the capital, IRIB reported on its website. "Students and the people attending the funeral ceremony... have clashed with a limited number of people apparently linked to the sedition [opposition] movement and forced them out by chanting slogans of death to hypocrites," the report on the state-run channel said. It gave no details of any injuries. The BBC's Mohsen Asgari, who attended the ceremony in Tehran, said he did not see any major clashes. But he said police forces had blocked all the roads leading to the university and were only allowing in pro-government supporters.
