‘It’s no secret,” writes Ben Parr, of Mashable, online media source, “that social media’s played an important – maybe even historic – role in the Iran election protests that have swept the nation into discord and disarray.”

Posted on their website are a compelation of the top ten videos found depicting the events that took place in Iran during and after the election. Mobs gathered in the streets, government vehicles set ablaze, and people being victimized. It was thanks to social media networks such as Twitter and YouTube that we know exactly what happened.

The most heart-wrenching is the one where a young girl actually dies during the video. Shocking to the core, but powerfully emotional. It truly depicts what the situation has been like, and still is, in Iran.
