Iran‘s embattled opposition leader has branded last month’s presidential election illegitimate and has demanded the regime release all political prisoners.
Mir Hossein Mousavi‘s defiance comes in a new message on his Web site that also calls for election reforms and press freedoms.
Mousavi insists that Iran’s disputed June 12 election was riddled with fraud. He contends that he — not incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — was the rightful winner.
