TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's judiciary will teach those arrested during protests over the disputed presidential election a lesson, an official said, after riot police broke up the latest demonstration in Tehran.
Hundreds of people have been detained during protests sparked by official results of Iran's June 12 election showing hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won by a landslide.
Two defeated candidates -- former prime minister Mirhossein Mousavi and pro-reform cleric Mehdi Karoubi -- have called for the election to be cancelled, citing irregularities.
