Some quotes: 

• “The Iranian government is being kept in power by force and will not last its four-year term.”
• "The government's response, the crackdown, has not calmed things down at all. In fact, it's just made the chanting louder. It's just increased the people's demands."

BBC Newsnight report on the protests 4 November

After weeks of relative silence the protests flared up again all over Iran on 4 November. Hundreds of protesters were arrested or beaten up in the streets. The opposition movement is still very much alive!

From the video: The opposition leaders are following the crowd. They are not leading the people.
