TEHRAN, July 2 (Xinhua) -- Iran's defeated candidate
Mir-Hossein Mousavi said that he will disclose "tell-all documents" proving
fraud and irregularities in Iran's recent presidential election, local satellite
Press TV reported on Thursday.
Mousavi, who has rejected the result of Iran's
presidential election as fraudulent, said on Wednesday that a number of Iranian
scholars are set to form a committee to preserve the vote of the people, the
report said.
The committee aims to "make public documents proving
fraud and irregularities in the election," Mousavi said in his latest statement
posted on his website, adding that "I will join this committee as well."
Mousavi remained defiant by reiterating that Iran's
new government is "illegitimate."
"From now on ...the majority of society, of which I
am a member, will not accept its (the new government's) legitimacy," the
statement said.
Referring to a number of detained people of his
supporters, Mousavi called on the officials to "free the children of the
revolution from the prisons," and also called for lifting of a ban on some media
and websites.
Iran's Guardian Council, which is charged with
supervising elections in the country, approved the results of the June 12
presidential election on Monday.
The announcement came after the Guardian Council ran
a recount of 10 percent of the votes on Monday, which showed no irregularities,
the English-language satellite Press TV channel said.
The Guardian Council's announcement confirmed that
incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been reelected for a second term.
Guardian Council spokesman Abbasali Kadkhodai told
state television late Monday that the case for reviewing the election results
"is closed now" for the council.
On June 13, the Iranian Interior Minister said
Ahmadinejad won 62.63 percent of the total ballots, while his main rival Mir-
Hossein Mousavi got 33.75 percent.
The other two candidates -- former parliament speaker
Mehdi Karroubi and former Revolutionary Guards chief Mohsen Rezaei -- got less
than 2 percent of the total ballots.
After the official declaration, all the three
defeated candidates filed complaints over irregularities in the election, while
Mousavi and Karroubi have demanded an annulment of the election.
Rezaei later withdrew his complaints filed to the
Guardian Council about the disputed presidential election.
The Guardian Council had said it was ready to recount
up to 10 percent of the ballot boxes randomly in the disputed presidential
election.
However, Mousavi rejected the partial vote recount as
a ruse and continued to demand a nullification of the election.
Mousavi's supporters participated in massive rallies
in Tehran and other cities following the disputes. Iran's state media said 20
people had been killed in related clashes.
