2009 protests in Iran[]

There were protests in Iran on the Shi'a holiday of Ashura to protest the outcome of the 2009 Iranian presidential election. Abdolkarim Soroush has identified the moment as a turning point in the Ahmedinejad regime's crackdown on the Iranian Green Movement. Various parties in Iran including Kazem Jalali and the Iranian intelligence service blamed Mojahedin-e Khalq for the unrest, linking the group publicly for the first time with the Green Movement. As opposition leaders like Mir-Hossein Mousavi hurried to dispute the government's characterizations, in London wrote a letter accusing the Sima-ye Azadi network of allowing Mojahedin-e Khalq to broadcast from London and that "peaceful demonstrations" were being "fatally undermined from within the UK".^[2]
