On the eve of student demonstrations planned for today, Iran choked off Internet access and warned journalists working for foreign news media to stick to their offices for the next three days.

Opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi threw his support behind the student demonstrations and declared on his website that his movement is alive. “A great nation would not stay silent when some confiscate its vote,” said Mousavi, who claims President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stole victory from him by fraud in the presidential election June 12.
