In his latest message Mr Mousavi urged supporters not to break the law, while maintaining that the struggle to have the polls annulled must continue. The opposition leader said he had been asked by the Interior Ministry to apply in person for rallies to be authorised, and to give a week’s notice. He pointed out that while restrictions were imposed on his protests, supporters of President Ahmadinejad were able to hold marches “that were well publicised on state television, seeming to encourage participation, with their regularly advertised march routes.”
