Iran's opposition has invited Iranians to attend a
protest rally in Tehran and other cities on February 20 to mark a week since the
deaths of two people in earlier demonstrations.
Sane Zhaleh and Mohammad Mokhtari were killed during
Feb 14 protests in Tehran
An opposition website kaleme.com said the demonstrations would
be a "fight against religious dictatorship" in Iran.
Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar warned of a crackdown if opposition
supporters stage the planned protests, saying: "We will confront them as per the
law."
Members of parliament and clerics have called for the execution of opposition
leaders Mir Hossein Musavi and Mehdi Karrubi, who are already under house
arrest, for organizing the February 14 rallies.
