Despite internet and text outages,

pictures and video of the “robust debate” is coming out.

“Mousavi, take our votes back!”

Twitter used by citizens to get the word out. Another hashtag is #Iranelection

[UPDATE 2]

Rumors are spreading that the members of the opposition, Mir-Hossein Mousavi, Mehdi Karroubi, and even former president Mohammad Khatami have all been arrested.

Mousavi himself claims via Twitter he is under “House Arrest“.

BBC video makes it out of Iran, after tapes confiscated;

[UPDATE 3]
