Protesters in Iran met with tear gas, batons
 Iranian pro-government Basij militia members dispersed crowds of protesters in Tehran Thursday -- sometimes with force -- according to a journalist on the scene.
The demonstration is taking place on the 10th anniversary of a student uprising that, at the time, posed the biggest threat to the Islamic regime since its inception in 1979.
The protesters are using the anniversary to resume demonstrations against the outcome of the June 12 presidential election. An estimated 2,000 to 3,000 people crowded the streets and headed toward Tehran University, the site of the 1999 student uprising. Several protesters were hit on the arms and backs by the Basij, the journalist reported. The militia tried to persuade one man, whose face was bleeding, to get into an ambulance, but he refused.

Iran protests: 'They have covered up the deaths'
have been working in a public hospital in Tehran over the last few weeks. The authorities are covering up the number of dead protesters and their causes of death. The official statistic is 20 dead – that's wrong. In our hospital alone there were 38 riot deaths in the first week. Most died from gunshot wounds. A colleague told me that in his hospital there were a further 36 gunshot casualties and 10 deaths. Four public hospitals admitted wounded protesters during the riots, but it is hard to know the total figures of dead. Other hospitals were prevented from helping. Basiji militiamen attacked doormen in one hospital for letting in wounded protesters. In the hospitals that were allowed to function, the basijis replaced the hospital admissions staff and took the IDs of wounded patients. Medical staff are under huge pressure to cover up the injuries they treated; I know one doctor who killed themself.

Iran police fire tear-gas as 1000s mark 1999 unrest
Iranian police fired tear-gas on Thursday as thousands of demonstrators defied government warnings and staged a march to commemorate the anniversary of bloody student unrest in 1999, witnesses said. Protesters chanted "Death to the dictator" as they gathered in the streets around Tehran University, the epicentre of the violence 10 years ago. Police deployed reinforcements after a first volley of tear-gas failed to disperse the demonstrators, who continued to grow in number, the witnesses said. Police then fired a second volley.

شلیک تیرهوایی از سوی نیروهای امنیتی در تهران
با وجود تلاش نیروهای امنیتی برای ممانعت از برگزاری تجمعی به مناسبت دهمین سالگرد حوادث 18 تیر، معترضان به نتیجه انتخابات ریاست جمهوری در اطراف میدان انقلاب تهران تجمع هایی برگزار کرده اند و اخباری درباره شلیک گاز اشک آور به سمت آنها در اطراف دانشگاه تهران منتشر شده است.

Hundreds protest in Iran, defying crackdown vow
Hundreds of young men and women chanted "death to the dictator," confronting police wielding batons and firing tear gas in the capital Thursday as opposition activists sought to revive street protests despite authorities' vows to "smash" any new marches. For days, supporters of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi have been calling for new protests in Tehran and other cities on Thursday, their first significant attempt to get back on the streets since security forces crushed massive demonstrations nearly two weeks ago in Iran's postelection turmoil. Tehran governor Morteza Tamaddon warned that any new march Thursday would meet the same fate

Iran 'arrests prominent human rights lawyer'
Iran has arrested a founding member of Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi's rights group amid a crackdown on critics following President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's disputed re-election, a colleague told AFP on Thursday.
"Today Mohammad Ali Dadkhah was arrested with a number of other lawyers at his office," said fellow lawyer Mohammad Seifzadeh, who is also a founding member of Ebadi's Human Rights Defenders Centre.
The group is an outspoken critic of the human rights situation in Iran and has faced mounting pressure since December 2008 after its office was shut down in a police raid.
Seifzadeh said Dadkhah, a prominent human rights lawyer, had been discussing on Wednesday a new code introduced by the judiciary on the workings of Iran's bar association but which has yet to come into force.
"The new code damages lawyers' independence and it is against the law," Seifzadeh said.

دادگاه عالی اروپا تحریم علیه بانک ملی ايران را تایید کرد
دادگاه عالی اروپا تصميم سال گذشته اتحاديه اروپا مبنی بر انسداد دارايی‌های بانک ملی ايران در لندن را مورد تأييد قرار داد.
به حکم این دادگاه، از ادامه فعاليت بانک ملی ايران، که در مالکيت دولت جمهوری اسلامی است، به منظور حفظ امنيت و صلح بين‌المللی ممانعت به عمل خواهد آمد، چرا که دولت ايران در امر تکثير سلاح‌های هسته‌ای که نقض قوانين بين‌المللی است، مشارکت دارد.
اين دادگاه تقاضای بانک ملی ايران برای ابطال حکم اتحاديه اروپا را نپذيرفت. بانک ملی ایران در لايحه اعتراضی خود آورده بود که اقدام اتحاديه اروپا نه قانونی است و نه با واقعيت تناسب دارد. اکنون بانک ملی ايران فرصت دارد تا لايحه اعتراضی خود را به ديوان عدالت اروپا تسليم کند.

نروژ خواستار آزادی معترضان در ایران شد
نروژ روز سه شنبه کاردار ایران در اسلو را احضار کرده است تا ضمن ابراز نگرانی نسبت به وضعیت حقوق بشر در ایران خواستار آزادی تظاهرکنندگان زندانی در این کشور شود.
یوناس گار استور، وزیر خارجه نروژ، در بیانیه ای که خبرگزاری فرانسه منعکس کرده است گفت: "مقام ها در ایران به حقوق اساسی انسان ها احترام نمی گذارند."
وی افزود: "نروژ علیه بازداشت ها با انگیزه سیاسی اعتراض دارد و به خصوص به این واقعیت واکنش نشان می دهد که کارمندان سفارت بریتانیا در تهران زندانی شده اند."
دولت ایران می گوید در واکنش به اعتراضات گسترده به نتیجه انتخابات بیش از هزار نفر را دستگیر کرده است. البته به عقیده برخی گروه های حقوق بشر آمار بازداشتی ها می تواند بسیار بیش از این باشد.

Iran vote dispute moves to seminary - Celerics Divided
The focus of the Iran crisis has shifted from the street to the seminary. Clerics are having to choose whether to align themselves with the conservatives or the reformists - or maintain an awkward silence. More than three weeks after the elections of 12 June, a troika of senior reformists form the core of the opposition to an outcome they regard as fraudulent. A few senior clerical figures - including Ayatollahs Montazeri and Sanei - have aligned themselves with the reformist camp. On Saturday a group of reformist clerics in the holy city of Qom issued a strong statement questioning the legitimacy of the election.
Rafsanjani's role Of all those who find themselves caught uncomfortably in the middle, the most important is former President Hashemi Rafsanjani. He had backed the campaign of the main reformist candidate, Mir Hossein Mousavi, in an effort to deny Mr Ahmadinejad a second term. He was furious when, during the campaign, the president publicly alleged that he and his family were corrupt.

مقام ارشد سپاه پاسداران: انقلاب اسلامی حداقل ۲۰ سال بیمه شد
یدالله جوانی، رئیس دفتر سیاسی سپاه پاسداران انقلاب اسلامی گفته است که "با افشای چهره نفاق جدید، انقلاب اسلامی از خطر بزرگی به سلامت عبور کرد و باید گفت حداقل ۲۰ سال انقلاب اسلامی بیمه شد."
اشاره آقای جوانی به طور تلویحی به سرکوب اعتراض های مردمی به نتایج دهمین دوره انتخابات ریاست جمهوری ایران است که در آن محمود احمدی نژاد به عنوان پیروز انتخابات معرفی شد.
او گفته است: آنچه در انتخابات دهمین دوره ریاست جمهوری رخ نمایاند و نظام اسلامی و مردم مسلمان و انقلابی ایران را چند روزی به زحمت انداخت، نتیجه کاری فشرده و چندین ساله دو جریان بیرونی و داخلی برای تغییر نظام دینی با محوریت ولایت فقیه در ایران بود.

Sunday, July 5, 2009 Senior Iranian clerics reject re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Deepening splits among Iran's clergy came to the surface today , with a senior clerical group calling Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's re-election "illegitimate". The Assembly of Scholars and Researchers at Qom seminary, the centre of Shia learning in Iran, rejected the official results and called for the release of political prisoners. "Other candidates' complaints and strong evidence of vote-rigging were ignored … peaceful protests by Iranians were violently oppressed …… dozens of Iranians were killed and hundreds were illegally arrested," a statement on its website said. "The outcome is invalid."
General Ismail Ahmadi-Moghaddam, the chief of police, said two-thirds of the arrested demonstrators had been released, some on bail. He said about 1,000 were arrested, but human rights groups say up to 2,000 dissidents are being held. "How should the Islamic Republic treat such groups? They would be a dangerous opposition if they were to win, and set the streets on fire if they lose," the conservative newspaper Keyhan said in an editorial. آ

Moussavi said to be planning new party after Iran vote
Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Moussavi plans to form a new political party aimed at reining in the power of the Islamic Republic's leadership, a leading reformist newspaper reported Sunday.
Moussavi told supporters the party will be focused on upholding "the remaining principles of the constitution," according to Etemad-e Melli, a newspaper aligned with fellow opposition candidate Mehdi Karrubi.
He is expected to file papers with Iran's Interior Ministry to establish the party before hard-line incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is sworn in for a new term, the newspaper reported.
The announcement comes after weeks of protests over Iran's disputed presidential election and an attempted clampdown by Iran's clerical leadership.

A look at the leadership structure and powers in Iran
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: The ultimate decision-maker on all major state and religious matters. He appoints all key positions in the ruling theocracy and controls judiciary and Revolutionary Guards. Supporters believe he is incapable of error and answerable only to God.
Guardian Council: Vets all candidates for parliament, president and other elected posts. Power to veto any legislation. Comprised of six Islamic clerics and six legal scholars hand-picked by Khamenei.
Expediency Council: A 32-member unelected group dominated by conservatives and led by former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. Mediates in disputes between Guardian Council and parliament. Advises supreme leader.
Expert Assembly: A group of 87 Islamic clerics. Constitution says it oversees supreme leader, but actual role is unclear.
President: Highest elected leader. Leads most aspects of government, but important decisions need backing of supreme leader. President serves for a four-year term. Two terms maximum.
Prime Minister: The 1989 constitutional changes during Presidnecy of Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, removed the post of Prime Minister.
Parliament: Structured as Western-style legislative branch, but all key measures by 290-seat chamber must have the backing of supreme leader. Main powers in setting budget and other fiscal matters. Law makers have four-year terms.
