Opposition leaders will be prosecuted for seeking to undermine Iran's Islamic revolution after protests in which two people died, the head of the judiciary said on Thursday, state television reported. "The betrayal by the leaders of this sedition is obvious ... and the Islamic system will not tolerate any person harming the revolution," said judiciary chief Sadeq Larijani. "Definitely they will be prosecuted."
Monday's rallies in Tehran and other cities, inspired by uprisings that toppled the leaders of Tunisia and Egypt, were the first big opposition protests since the authorities crushed demonstrations following a disputed 2009 presidential election. (Reuters)
