Iranian officials have refused to permit supporters of Mir Hossein Mousavi, a defeated reformist presidential candidate, to hold a protest against the re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president.
Pro-Mousavi demonstrators had handed out leaflets calling for a rally in the capital, Tehran, on Monday after the former prime minister appealed for the result of Friday's vote to be cancelled.
"No authorisation for a march or gathering has been issued and any kind of gathering or march is illegal," an interior ministry official told the AFP news agency.
