World: Iran sez Moussavi can’t protest. Protesters: We’ll do it without him!

  • Mir Hussein Moussavi has been barred from protesting today. Moussavi applied to lead a nationwide march to protest the presidential election results – which had Mahmoud Ahmadinejad winning with 62% of the vote – and was denied by Iran’s Interior Ministry, which declared the march illegal. However, his supporters, via the use of social networking, have indicated that they plan to protest anyway. Good for them. source
