尽管伊朗政府正在镇压示威,逮捕了大学教授、记者和普通公民,但是伊朗反对派的网站仍然呼吁星期四在德黑兰集会。

反对派领袖穆萨维在他的网站上发表文章说,他和支持者的接触被严加限制,他受到压力,要他不再挑战选举结果。

穆萨维说,至少有70名大学教授星期三在和他会晤之后被拘押。星期三在伊朗首都的议会附近,警察和抗议者发生冲突。

穆萨维在6月12号的大选中输给现任总统艾哈迈迪内贾德。他指称投票中有大规模舞弊。但是伊朗最高领导人和宪法监护委员会说,选举结果不容更改。

伊朗选举后示威中至少有17人丧生,数百人被捕。

Iranian opposition Web sites are still calling for a rally Thursday in Tehran, despite the government’s ongoing crackdown that has included arrests of university professors, journalists and ordinary citizens.

In a statement posted on his official Web site Thursday, opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi said his access to supporters has been highly restricted and he is facing pressure to withdraw his election challenge.

He said at least 70 university professors were detained after meeting with him on Wednesday, a day marked by clashes between police and protesters near Iran’s Parliament in the capital.

Mr. Mousavi, who lost to incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in June 12 presidential elections, has alleged massive fraud in the vote. But Iran’s supreme leader and the Guardian Council say the election will not be reversed.

At least 17 people have been killed and hundreds arrested in post-election demonstrations.
