Iran Live News | Stockholm Sweden demonstration in solidarity with Iranian people 4 Nov 2009

Iran Live News | 4 November 2009 | Demonstration in Stockholm, Sweden in solidarity with Iranian people struggle for freedom, during which many people have been arrested and transferred to secret detention centres across the country.

Iran's opposition has come out in force to mount some of the biggest street protests since June's disputed elections in an attempt to overshadow official rallies marking the 30th anniversary of the storming of the US embassy in Tehran.

Thousands of demonstrators poured into the capital to defy riot police, revolutionary guards and Basij militiamen wielding clubs and kicking protesters, as well as firing teargas and according to some unconfirmed reports bullets.

Video footage on the internet showed supporters of Mir-Hossein Mousavi, who claims he won the presidential race, stamping on images of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, and denouncing him as a "murderer". Others criticised the president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Many wore wearing green scarves, ribbons or wristbands.
