Iran's opposition movement is holding what is being described as a "silent memorial" to remember the victims of the unrest that erupted following last month's contested presidential election. The Iranian government banned the gathering, leading to fears of more violence.
伊朗反对派运动人士举办一场所谓的“静默追悼会”,悼念在上个月有争议的总统举后发生的动荡中遇难的人们。伊朗政府禁止这次集会,引起人们对出现更多暴力事件的担心。

A video, posted on opposition leader and presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi's Facebook website showed scores of demonstrators waving the "V" for victory sign, and chanting "Mir Hossein", as they faced off against riot police.

Opposition supporters also prepared a video, set to music, on Mr. Moussavi's Facebook website, honoring those slain during weeks of unrest and clashes with police. It showed demonstrators covered with blood and others writhing in pain after being shot by police.
Iranian government TV ignored the protests, talking instead about the upcoming August 3 inauguration of incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad. He was officially credited with 64 percent of the vote, amid charges of widespread vote-rigging.
伊朗政府电视台对抗议活动不予理会,反而谈论现任总统艾哈迈迪内贾德8月3日的就职典礼。艾哈迈迪内贾德受到选举中存在大量舞弊的指控,但仍被官方认可得到64%的选票。 |
