The Iranian government has publicly backed the Arab uprisings in Tunisia and
Egypt, but the rally by opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi
Karroubi was banned by the interior ministry in Tehran.
Thousands of Iranian opposition supporters took to the streets of Tehran on
Monday to protest against the country's leadership and show support for the
popular uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia.
Dozens were reportedly arrested, leading to condemnation by the United States.
