Ashura has been the most important day for the Iranian people in 6 months, but what is next. Here are some reports that indicate what might come next:
- The most immediate issue is the burial and mourning ceremonies for all the martyrs. In particular the nephew of Mousavi might provide a flash point for more protests. Mousavi's Facebook is saying people are already outside the hospital where his nephew's body is being held and there have been clashes.
- Reports indicate that strikes are attempting to be organized in particular on college campuses although it is impossible to tell how widespread these might be.
- A little further down line, the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution is quickly approaching with many public holidays in the next few months to commemorate it creating more opportunities for protest.
We will just have to wait and see how far this develops.
