July 9, 2009 Iranian Governor Warns Security Forces Will 'Smash' Protesters -------------------------------------------------------------- http://enews.voanews.com/t?ctl=253C70E:A6F02AD83191E160A7F2E303507FC32D2E7CA1C1B166B639& Warning comes amid calls for new opposition marches to mark 10th anniversary of deadly crackdown against students in Tehran An Iranian governor is warning that security forces will "smash" any attempt to protest Thursday, amid calls for new opposition marches to mark the 10th anniversary of a deadly crackdown against students in Tehran. The governor of Tehran, Morteza Tamadon, said "anti-revolutionary networks" were calling for the demonstrations. Such calls have circulated on pro-opposition Web sites and social networking sites all week. Iranian reformist presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi during a press conference after polls closed in Tehran, 12 June 2009 Opposition demonstrations had broken out following Iran's June 12 presidential vote. Defeated reformist candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi and his supporters insist he won the election. They say official results which show incumbent President Mahmound Ahmadinejad winning by a landslide are fraudulent. Iranian police have detained more than 1,000 political activists, journalists, and others who authorities say were linked to post-election demonstrations. Officials say most of them have been released. New demonstrations have been called to coincide with the anniversary of a 1999 raid by security forces on a student dormitory in Tehran, following a peaceful protest. Many students were beaten and arrested. Officials said one student died in the crackdown. Opposition groups say eight people were killed. Meanwhile, six United Nations experts are seeking permission from the Iranian government to visit the country and independently assess conditions there, in light of recent post-election unrest. The human rights experts issued a joint-statement, made public Wednesday, expressing grave concern about reports of mass arrests and the use of excessive force by police since last month's disputed presidential election.
