Iran protesters confessed after torture: Mousavi | |
2009-08-03 | |
[Al Arabiya Latest] Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi said on Sunday that confessions made by protesters at a closed-door trial were made after they were put through "medieval-era torture," while Iranian MPs revealed they filed a judicial complaint against him. "The scenes that we saw were a clumsy preparation for the launch of the 10th government," Mousavi said on his website Ghalamnews the day after 100 people were put on trial over post-election protests.
In the meantime, a group of Iranian MPs revealed they had filed a complaint to the judiciary against Mousavi over post-election violence, the Fars news agency reported on Sunday, quoting a lawmaker. "We submitted this complaint against Mousavi's radical moves to the judiciary a few weeks ago," Mohammad Taghi Rahbar, a hardline member of parliament's judicial commission, told Fars. "We expect it to be examined as soon as possible," he said, without specifying how many lawmakers had backed the action. | |
