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.


" They expect a court, which itself is fraudulent, to prove that there was no fraud committed in the election "

"They expect a court, which itself is fraudulent, to prove that there was no fraud committed in the election," said Mousavi, who was defeated by incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the June 12 election.

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.
