IRANIAN SECURITY CONTINUESCRACKDOWN AT MEMORIAL SERVICE

WASHINGTON TIMES: Iranian police used tear gas and beatings to break up a graveside memorial attended by thousands in Tehran. The rally was held at the Behesht-e Zahra cemetary where Neda Agha Soltan, killed while watching a protest march on June 20th, was buried. According to witnesses, the situation reached a critical mass as an ally of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi attempted to give a speech. Mousavi himself was prevented from attending by a crowd of police who surrounded him as he arrived. Some in the crowd chanted "Neda is alive, Ahmadinejad is dead" and some plainclothes security officers reportedly chanted "Death to those who are against the supreme leader" in return. . . .READ MORE
