Thousands Celebrate Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Victory in Iran, Appeal Lodged by Opposition Leader Mir Hossein Mousavi

While tens of thousands of supporters attended a rally in central Tehran celebrating the presidential election victory for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad his closest rival in the vote, Mir Hossein Mousavi, filed an official appeal against the results after claiming inaccuracies.

Ahmadinejad has denied allegations concerning vote-fixing and said the results were a clear indication that the people of Iran supported his leadership. With his second term now in place Ahmadinejad addressed the criticisms launched by Mousavi, telling those gathered at the rally, “Some people want democracy only for their own sake.” He went on to state, “Some want elections, freedom, a sound election.
