Angry Scenes in Iran's Parliament After Protests

(Euronews: 0600 PST, February 15, 2011) There have been angry scenes in the Iranian Parliament as members took to the floor to condemn anti-government protests at the weekend. State television showed parliamentarians calling for the opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mossavi and Mahdi Karroubi to face trial. Both have been under house arrest for a week after asking for permission to protest.

 

There was chaos yesterday as thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of central Tehran. At least one person was killed in the unrest, prompted by recent events in Egypt.
