As the Iranian authorities warned the opposition on Tuesday that they would tolerate no further protests over the disputed June 12 presidential elections, a report emerged of the hangings of six supporters of defeated candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi.
H/T Gateway Pundit, we see what the Iranian regime does to those that are fighting for a fair and Democratic election and for their votes to actually be counted.
Atlas Shrugs brings to our attention this news article which shows that Ahmadinejad's Basij militia is calling for Mir Hossein Mousavi's, (challenger in rigged election) execution as well.
Iran's opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi today became the target of the notorious Basij militia as it called for him to be prosecuted for his role in the greatest political unrest in Iran since the Islamic revolution.
In a letter to the country's chief prosecutor, the Basij accuse Mousavi of involvement in nine offences against the state, including "disturbing the nation's security". That charge carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence.
The letter came as the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, cancelled a planned trip to Libya without explanation. The last-minute cancellation is being seen as a sign of the continuing volatility in Iran as the authorities struggle with the fallout from last month's disputed election, in which Ahmadinejad was declared the winner.
One of the other candidates, Mehdi Karroubi, a reformist cleric, vowed to continue his fight to annul the election despite the endorsement of the poll by the powerful guardian council after a partial recount of the vote.
"I don't consider this government legitimate," Karroubi said on his website.
It was later reported that the daily Etemad-e-Melli, a newspaper allied to him, had been closed down.
