The trial has begun in Iran of 100 people arrested for their alleged involvement in post-election violence.The charges included rioting, vandalism, "acting against national security", and conspiring against the ruling system, state media reported. Those on trial included members of the opposition reform movement, including a former vice-president. Pro-government media reported what they say were confessions by some of the leading reformists. But the leading reformist party Mosharekat described the proceedings as a laughable show trial and said the confessions had been forced.
