IRANIAN POLICE BEAT PROTESTERS AT NEDA GRAVESIDE MEMORIAL
TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian police fired tear gas and beat
anti-government protesters with batons to disperse thousands at a
graveside memorial Thursday for victims of post-election violence,
witnesses and state television said.
Demonstrations that drew thousands more later spread to other parts
of the capital Tehran and more clashes with security forces erupted.
Witnesses said police fired tear gas at dozens of demonstrators on
Valiasr Street who set tires and trash cans ablaze in response.
Police
barred opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi from joining the crowd
around the grave of Neda Agha Soltan, a young woman was shot to death
at a June 20 to protest the disputed presidential election. The
27-year-old music student's dying moments on the pavement were filmed
and circulated widely on the Web, and her name became a rallying cry
for the opposition.
"Neda is alive, Ahmadinejad is dead," some of those at the ceremony
chanted, referring to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who the opposition
claims won the June 12 election by fraud. Witnesses said plainclothes
forces charged at them with batons and tear gas, some of them chanting,
"Death to those who are against the supreme leader." State television
also reported that police used tear gas to disperse the demonstrators.
Obama, shame on you.
