The first trial of people allegedly involved in violence after the presidential election in Iran has begun.
The defendants included leading members of the opposition movement, including a former vice-president.
The state news agency said the charges included rioting, vandalism and ‘acting against national security’.
Media reports said dozens of people had gone on trial.
Authorities arrested hundreds in the aftermath of the disputed 12 June election.
Defeated presidential candidates Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karoubi say the vote was rigged in favour of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Thousands of pro-reform demonstrators gathered on Thursday to mourn those killed in post-election unrest, in a show of defiance of the authorities upholding Mr Ahmadinejad's victory.
Riot police fired tear gas and arrested some protesters.
