Reformist candidate rejects partial recount results
Mir Hossein Mousavi urged his supporters to keep protesting in Iran on Tuesday, a day after the country’s ruling Guardian Council announced that a recount proved the election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was fair. Mousavi, who’s called for the results of the election to be thrown out entirely, suggested protesters should continue shouting Allahu Akbar (God is great) from rooftops at night, writing Mr Mousavi’s name on currency and hijacking official holidays to make protests. For his part, Ahmadinejad celebrated Monday’s ruling by the Guardian Council, saying it was Iran’s final victory over its Western enemies who plotted “a soft toppling of the system, failed, and couldn’t reach their aims.”
