Protests took place to commemorate 3 days since the martyrdom of those killed on bloody Ashura. Regime presence was very heavy with reports of even military units on the streets. Protests could not become sustained and large, but this video from Tehran shows that people still took to the streets.

The Juice Protest
Khamenei should pray the Green Movement doesn't give out juice boxes to his supporters or it is all over for him.
MP Office Set on Fire
The story from Mousavi's Facebook:
Plain clothes militia set the office of Nasrollah Torabi, one of the reformist members of the parliament and representative of the people of ShahreKurd (west of Iran), on fire last night. Torabi in an interview with ParlemanNews said that after his speech in the parliament in criticism of the government some banners were distributed against him throughout the city of Shahrekurd with the support of the governor’s office.
He added: “In the middle of the night some made their last pathetic attempt and set the office of a representative of the people on fire with the aim of silencing the members of the parliament.” He continued: “These individuals don’t want anyone to say anything in their criticism or against their will and they want everyone in the society acts as they wish and even if someone criticises them they ask their agents in cities to set their offices on fire so that they intimidated other members of the parliament and make them keep quiet.” Torabi asked people to be patient regarding this incident and said: “The intelligence bodies and their affiliated organisations should act immediately and confront those responsible for this act.” He also raised the question how come the Iranian intelligence service have surveillance on even the slightest thing that someone says on a cell phone but they could not stop or confront those who have committed this organised and premeditated attack!

There was a pro-regime protest today with a few thousand people showing up. As the second part of the video shows, the main attraction seems to have been free Kabob being passed out.

Mousavi's Martyred Nephew Buried
Here is an article in Farsi about it and an account in English from Mousavi's Facebook:
Today (Dec 30) funeral of Mir Hossein Mousavi’s nephew, Seyyed Ali Habibi Mousavi who was shot and martyred on Aashura, was held under heavy security presence. Body of Seyyed Ali Mousavi, that was taken from the hospital without the knowledge of his family by secrete police with the excuse of “further investigations and autopsy”, was only given back to his family with the condition that the funeral ceremony would be held without public knowing about it and only immediate family members were able to attend the burial ceremony. Mir Hossein Mousavi and Zahra Rahnavard, his wife, were among those who attended the funeral today. May he rest in peace.
