The Foreign Office did not confirm the number of people held.<br /><br />Last week, Tehran expelled two British diplomats. London responded by booting two Iranians.<br /><br />Iran then recalled its ambassador to Britain, saying it would reconsider its diplomatic ties with the United Kingdom.<br /><br />Withdrawing an ambassador is a very serious gesture in diplomatic circles.<br /><br />The Iranian government has long accused other countries, especially Britain, of “meddling” in its affairs, but has offered no proof any outside forces have been involved in the unrest since the election.<br /><br />On Wednesday, Iranian authorities said they had arrested several foreign nationals, some with British passports, for allegedly helping foment the disturbances.enigma4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589997090173140019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-38378177595567897242009-06-28T10:45:23.874-04:002009-06-28T10:45:23.874-04:0010:30 AM

( edited to fit in comment)<br /><br />Supporters of opposition leader Mir Hossein Moussavi protest in the Turkish city of Ankara June 27.The gathering is officially meant to honor Mohammad Beheshti, a hero of the 1979 Islamic Revolution who was killed in a bombing on this date in 1981.<br /><br />The demonstration comes after two weeks of protests against the official results of the June 12 presidential elections, which President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won.<br /><br />A post on a Web site associated with opposition leader Mir Hossein Moussavi urged people to go to the rally.<br /><br />"There will be a gathering in 'Ghoba' Mosque and it's legal! Please send this message to everyone you can in Iran," says the post in Farsi and English, on a page which claims to be Moussavi's Facebook site.<br /><br />CNN has not confirmed the site is run by Moussavi or his associates.<br /><br />Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Sunday called for an end to street demonstrations. "I advise both sides not to provoke the emotions of the youth, not to stage people against one another," he said in a speech on government-funded Press TV.<br /><br />"This integrated nation must not be split and a group must not be incited against one another."<br /><br />Although it is allowing the demonstration -- intended for "the pious" -- Iran intensified its crackdown over the weekend, reportedly seizing wounded protesters from their hospital beds and arresting local British embassy staff in Tehran.<br /><br /><br /><br />Eight local staff members at the embassy were detained for their role in the unrest, Iran's government-funded Press TV reported Sunday. The Foreign Office in London confirmed there had been arrests but would not say how many.<br /><br />Amnesty International said Saturday that government-backed paramilitary forces are preventing doctors from getting names from wounded demonstrators or asking how they were hurt. <br /><br />"The Basijis are waiting for them," said Banafsheh Akhlaghi, western regional director of the human rights group, referring to the government's paramilitary arm.<br /><br />The clampdown comes as the deadline looms to file complaints against the results of the disputed election, which has prompted weeks of demonstrations.<br /><br />Ahmadinejad won the disputed election by a margin of two to one over his nearest rival, according to official results. Defeated candidates Mir Hossein Moussavi and Mehdi Karrubi said the results were rigged, and their supporters have taken to the streets.<br /><br />At least 17 protesters have been killed, according to official statistics, and the actual number may be higher.enigma4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589997090173140019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-20872713918556623542009-06-28T10:35:42.392-04:002009-06-28T10:35:42.392-04:0010:30 CNN:::
