TEHRAN : An aide to Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi has said in a report to parliament that 69 people died in post-election violence, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.
"A list of 69 dead and about 220 detained after the election was submitted to a special parliamentary committee," Alireza Beheshti was quoted as saying by the reformist Sarmayeh newspaper.
It is more than double the figure reported by Iranian officials who say about 30 people were slain in the violence that erupted after the disputed re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in June.
"I have not heard about 69 people being killed in recent incidents," Ahmad Reza Radan, Tehran's deputy police chief, was quoted as saying by the Fars news agency.
