Iran's judiciary said on Wednesday it had evidence that opposition leaders had fomented tension in the country after the disputed presidential election in June, the official IRNA news agency reported.

" [...] we have enough proof about the leaders of this plot against the system," judiciary chief Sadeq Larijani said.
 

When the 12 June presidential election returned hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to power by a wide margin, his reformist opponents cried foul and thousands of Iranians took to the streets in the biggest anti-government demonstrations in the 30 year history of the Islamic Republic.
 

The authorities reject pro-reform opposition charges of vote fraud and portrayed huge anti-government protests that erupted after the poll as a foreign backed bid to undermine the Islamic state.
 

Moderate defeated candidates have repeatedly said the reform movement is alive, despite pressure from hardline rulers to derail it.
