Mousavi on Saturday rejected authorities' proposals for a recount
of some votes from this month's election and repeated his demand the
entire ballot be annulled.
Iran's top legislative body, the Guardian Council, had offered
to recount 10 percent of ballot boxes from the June 12 vote in
the presence of senior officials representing the government and
opposition.
"This kind of recount will not remove ambiguities...There is no other
way but annulment of the vote...Some members of this committee are
not impartial," Mousavi said in a statement posted on his website.
Another beaten candidate, pro-reform cleric Mehdi Karoubi, also
rejected the recount offer in a statement on his site, Reuters reported
