Iranian opposition defies warning, calls for rally

TEHERAN, Iran — The Iranian opposition is defying a government warning and calling on people to stage a rally in solidarity with Tunisian and Egyptian protesters, a reformist website said Sunday.
Kaleme.com published a statement by a council of opposition groups inviting people to attend a peaceful rally on Monday.
The opposition statement also accused the government of double-standards, by voicing support for Egyptian and Tunisian protesters while refusing to issue permission for Iranian political activists to stage a peaceful demonstration.
