Anti-government slogans shouted at Tehran press fair, say witnesses

Tehran - Supporters of the Iranian opposition on Friday shouted anti-government slogans at a press fair in Tehran, eye-witnesses said. The protests started after the leader of the opposition party Etemad Melli, Mehdi Karroubi, visited the press fair held in the Mossala complex in northern Tehran and attended by local and foreign media representatives. After seeing the moderate cleric, many of the visitors shouted slogans in favour of Karroubi and opposition leader Mir-Hossein Moussavi and against the administration of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The incident led to interference by police forces who entered the fair to put an end to the spontaneous protest gathering, the witnesses added.
