Iranian group rejects claim it shot at protesters
None
An Iranian opposition group has rejected accusations that it fired on an opposition protest in Tehran, calling the report a lie. Clashes at Monday's rally in the Iranian capital left one person dead and dozens injured.
Iran's IRNA news agency cited acting police commander General Ahmad Reza Radan as saying that members of the opposition group Mujahedeen Khalq, or MEK, opened fire at police and protesters. He did not provide any evidence to back up his claim. The group said Tuesday the claim was "fabricated by the regime even when everyone knows that it is the ruling power and its organs repressed the protesters by shooting at them." (AP)
