TEHRAN, Aug. 9 — Revolutionary Guard generals, top politicians and senior clerics have called for the arrest and punishment of opposition leaders, including defeated presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, Iranian state media reported Sunday, while the national police chief acknowledged that protesters had been mistreated while in custody.

The calls for arrests come as part of a crackdown against opposition activists who continue to dispute June’s presidential vote, which President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad officially won in a landslide but which Mousavi and his supporters say was stolen.

    This is a dangerous step for Dinnerjacket!
    If they arrest the opposition candidate on what was a bent election;this will only inflame the disposessed even more.
    The majority populace in Iran have been born since the revolution and it seems
    that they've had enough.
    A seething cheated electorate are dangerous in any country no matter how tyrannical the government.
    There will be blood!
    There are powerful people on Mousavi's side!

    I don't know how anyone can be surprised at any of this.
  • definitely no surprise, but unfortunately we have to keep ramming it through the heads of liberal appeasers around the world who think there's really not that much wrong with Iran and that they have a "right to nuclear power" like Obama said.

    Oh and there's the whole holocaust denial thing... and oh that constant repetition of declaring Israel a cancer and wanting to wipe them off the map. But American liberals still think that Iran is just "misunderstood" and we shouldn't be "meddling". Of course when it comes to meddling, Obama has no problem meddling in Israeli affairs like demanding they not attack Iran and demanding settlement freeze's on Israeli land...
