Someone on the ground? So not anybody in the Australian government, which would be necessary for an ambassador to apply to for permission to flout the vienna convention and would only be effective if the injured protester could fit in a diplomatic pouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Embassy can allow injured protesters entry!!!!!!!

Yet they are, so it's already a done matter. Quit the whining about it already and POST FUCKING NEWS.

I'm currently watching FOXNews (don't tell anyone) and it's on the news ticker (that thing at the bottom of the screen. What's it called?) but it says embassies are 'reportedly' opened for the injured.

I do not believe that is true, as long as the protesters go there of their own free will. A good international friend of mine assures me of this.
(I wish I had more evidence however....)

People need to stop trying to reach embassies! They cannot let you in!!!
If you have injured friends go to the hospitals! Get all the people you can persuade to surround the hospitals!! Going to the embassies lets the basij pick you off! The basj and the guard prevented you going to the squares. Make the injured your square! Protect the real cost of this change! Mass around your injured, they are the square of battle you defend!

Wouldn't that just make the group an easy target.

Like how snipers will injure, rather than kill, to weaken a military unit as a whole.

And yes, Embassies can take people in. Japan does it in China all the time.

hindmost: We've heard your objection. Embassies taking in refugees is not a new occurance. They *could* use them as a safe zone but then give them citizenship in a new country and send them out of the country. If you seek refuge in an embassy you might be out of the fight and can't go back. Or you might be picked off before you reach the embassy. But once you're let inside you're the embassy country's problem.

Maybe they might even make you citizens and accept being expelled along with you. Or it could all turn to shit, you never know. (Remember US embassy hostage crisis.)

Trying to get into an embassy sounds like a better plan than trying to fight the Basij at a hospital. In any case the protesters should choose *which* hospital they are massing at or else it will be fail.
