Iran Oppn Leaders Demand to Speak on TV to Challenge Presidential Elections

Iranian opposition leaders have demanded that time should be given to them to speak on state television to support their  charge that the June elections was rigged, reported a reformist newspaper.

Main opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi and cleric Mehdi Karroubi had a meeting at the weekend and decided that they wanted to go on television to challenge the statement of authorities that they have no evidence to support their charge that the elections were fraudulent, the report said.

Besides, the reformist Sarmayeh newspaper also quoted Mousavi as saying that Iranian officials were giving “wrong” data to the people about the post-vote unrest which rocked the country.

“Look how many times the number of the killed has been changed? They say that fraud in the election is a lie. Some gathered to say that there was no fraud.
