在伊朗首都的目击者说,星期一有几百名抗议者贻d始集会,被警察驱散。

反对派示威者曾在警察密布的德黑兰市中心自由广场集会,据一些目击者说,警察使用催泪瓦斯驱散人群。

星期一早些时候,伊朗精锐的革命卫队警告说要用武力驱散抗议活动。

伊朗官方电台曾报导说,星期六至少有457人被逮捕,当天发生了大规模抗议,安全部队与示威者爆发冲突,导致至少10人死亡。

伊朗官方公布的选后暴力死亡人数目前为17人。但其它报导说,死亡人数要多得多。这些报导都没有得到证实。伊朗已禁止独立媒体在伊朗作报导。

Witnesses in Iran’s capital say police officers dispersed a group of a few hundred protesters who started to gather Monday.

The opposition demonstrators had gathered at Haft-e-Tir Square in central Tehran, in the face of a heavy police presence. According to some witnesses, police used tear gas to disperse the crowd.

Earlier Monday, the country’s elite Revolutionary Guard warned it would use force to break up protests.

Iranian state radio reported earlier that at least 457 people were arrested Saturday — a day marked by clashes between security forces and demonstrators that resulted in the deaths of at least 10 people.

Iran’s official death toll from post-election violence now stands at 17. Other reports say the toll is considerably higher. None of the reports has been confirmed, and Iran has barred independent media from reporting in the country.
