Iran Protests: Most Violent Photos

Beatings in the Street

Beatings in the Street

On June 14, Iranian plainclothes policemen beat a supporter of opposition presidential candidate Mir Hossein Moussavi with batons during a protest. After hardline incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared a landslide victory in the hotly disputed election, chaos broke out, with supporters of Moussavi taking to the streets despite government bans on protests and violence that, to date, has killed at least 7.
