Iran began its fourth mass trial of people accused of
fomenting unrest after the disputed June presidential election, state
broadcaster IRIB reported.
The official IRNA news agency said
earlier those to be put on trial in a Tehran Revolutionary Court
included former Deputy Interior Minister Mostafa Tajzadeh, former
Deputy Foreign Minister Mohsen Aminzadeh, former government spokesman
Abdollah Ramezanzadeh, and Iranian-American scholar Kian Tajbakhsh.
The
June 12 vote plunged the Islamic state into its most serious internal
crisis since the 1979 Islamic revolution and exposed deep divisions in
its ruling elite.
