Police break up Iranian protest in KL

KUALA LUMPUR, June 15 – Malaysian police used teargas to break up a crowd of around 500 Iranians demonstrating outside the United Nations mission against Iran's contested presidential election.

The demonstrators gathered on Monday after a landslide victory for hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Friday’s election.

“The protesters handed in a memo and were leaving when the police fired two rounds of teargas,” said a Reuters photographer.

Ahmadinejad beat challenger Mirhossein Mousavi in Friday's poll and the opposition has charged the incumbent with rigging the polls which triggered protests in Iran. – Reuters
