Iranian Police Clash With Demonstrators at Graveside Rally
Iranian security forces clashed with thousands of demonstrators across Tehran and struggled to maintain control Thursday after opposition leader Mir Hussein Mousavi was prevented from visiting the graves of those killed in protests last month, including 27-year-old Neda Agha Soltan, whose final moments were filmed and broadcast around the world.

The clashes were escalating Thursday evening as police fired tear gas and attacked protesters with batons in a bid to break up the demonstrations. But the protesters were fighting back, battling security forces in the streets. In one case, three members of the much feared voluntary militia known as the Basij were beaten with their own batons after a group of people pulled them off their motorcycles near a park. The motorcycles were set on fire.
