Iranians protest the election results
Protests Continue
Despite a ban on demonstrations issued by Iran's interior ministry, hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in the Iranian capital Tehran to protest the recent presidential election. It was the biggest protest in Iran since the revolution 30 years ago.
Mousavi supporters unite
Supporters of pro-reform leader Mir Hossein Mousavi stream through the center of Tehran in a boisterous protest against election results that declared President Mamoud Ahmadinejad the winner. The crowd - many wearing the trademark green color of Mousavi's campaign - was headed toward the capital's huge Freedom Square in the largest display of opposition unity since Friday's elections ended with Mousavi claiming widespread fraud.
Mousavi calls for new elections
Mousavi, center, speaks to his supporters during a rally in Tehran. Mousavi has rejected the legitimacy of the Iran elections and has made claims that re-elected president Mahmoud Amhadinejad manipulated the results.
Protesters and police
Iranian police are also a strong presence on the streets in Iran, but their purpose is to put a stop to the protests. In many cases, clashes between protesters and police forces have turned violent.
Reports of deaths
According to reports from Iranian journalists, seven protesters were killed on Monday, and several hundred have been injured, including this man in front of a pro-government militia base. Restrictions placed on foreign journalists in Iran make any information about the protests difficult to confirm.
Khamenei rules out new elections
Responding to accusations of fraud in the elections, Iran's supreme leader Ayatolla Ali Khamenei has said he would allow some of the votes to be recounted, but ruled out the chance of cancelling the results and holding new elections. Opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi had called on Iran's top supervisory body, the Guardian Council, to nullify the election because of what he alleges were irregularities.
