Iran: Vote présidentiel et opposition
Ahmadinejad Opponents Shout Protests From Rooftops
Ahmadinejad protesters expand fight in streets, shout opposition from Tehran's rooftops
Rien a changé pour l'Iran. Toujours le meme président. Le coté des opposant grossit de plus en plus. Les gens ont ras le bol avec le régime et demandent plus de liberté dans tous les domaines. Mais avec un pourcentage de 81% pour le president Nedjad arraché selon la chaine médiatique du gouvernement, le jour est loin de se lever pour l'opposition.
Ahmadinejad protesters expand fight in streets, shout opposition from Tehran's rooftops
Protesters battled police over Iran's disputed election and shouted their opposition from the rooftops Sunday, but President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad dismissed the unrest as little more than "passions after a soccer match" and drew his own huge rally of support.
Just after sundown, cries of "death to the dictator" echoed through Tehran as thousands of backers for Ahmadinejad's rival, Mir Hossein Mousavi, heeded a call to bellow from the roofs and balconies. The deeply symbolic act recalled the shouts of "Allahu Akbar," or God is Great, to show opposition to the Western-backed monarchy before the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
The scenes summed up the showdown over the disputed elections: an outwardly confident Ahmadinejad exerted control, while Mousavi showed no sign of backing down and could be staking out a new role as powerful opposition voice.
His charges that Friday's vote was riddled by fraud brought sympathetic statements from Vice President Joe Biden and other leaders. Mousavi made a direct appeal with Iran's ruling clerics to annul the result, but the chances were considered remote.
