VOICE OF AMERICA: Iranian opposition websites say security forces and plainclothes militiamen have clashed with protesters in Tehran, as Iranian officials continue to deny reports that they have jailed two opposition leaders.
The opposition said Tuesday Iranian security forces fired tear gas in an effort to disperse protesters demanding the release of opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi, Mehdi Karroubi and their wives. Opposition websites say they were jailed on Monday.
Iranian opposition activists have called for protests to be held every Tuesday to demand the release of the two leading reformists.
Iran's prosecutor general, Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejehi, told the semi-official ISNA news agency Tuesday that the opposition leaders are not in prison. >>> | Tuesday, March 01, 2011
