DUBAI, June 17 (Reuters) – The first news conference held by
Iran’s president-elect Hassan Rohani ended suddenly on Monday
when a man in the audience sprang up and shouted a slogan in
favour of reformist leader Mirhossein Mousavi, held under house
arrest since 2011.
“Rohani remember, Mirhossein must be (present),” the man
shouted live on state television as security guards bundled him
away. Rohani left the dais and state television cut to scenes of
people voting and music.
