IRAN-POLITICS-DEMO

Iranian opposition demonstrators carry portraits of defeated reformist presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, in Tehran on June 15, 2009. Opposition supporters defied a ban to stage a mass rally in Tehran in protest at President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s landslide election win, as Iran faced a growing international backlash over the validity of the election and the subsequent crackdown on opposition protests.
