Leading Clerics Defy Ayatollah on Disputed Iran Election →
The most important group of religious leaders, from the holiest city in Iran, Qum, called the disputed presidential election and the new government illegitimate on Saturday, an act of defiance against the country’s supreme leader and the most public sign of a major split in the country’s clerical establishment.
The announcement came on a day when Mr. Moussavi released documents detailing a campaign of fraud, accusing Ahmadinejad’s supporters of printing more than 20 million extra ballots before the vote and handing out cash bonuses to voters.
