BBC: Iran opposition protesters clash with security forces

Dozens of people are reported to have been arrested across Iran after violent confrontations between security forces and anti-government demonstrators.
In the capital Tehran, police and militiamen used batons and teargas, and witnesses said there had been gunfire.
The protests, led by Iranian students, were over the disputed re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and suppression of academic freedom.
