Azerbaijan, Baku, Jun.2 /Trend F.Eminli/
Iranian Police Chief Esmaeel Ahmadi-Moghaddam warned presidential candidates not to follow leaders of sedition, the YJC website reported.
The candidates have been obliged not to do activities which are prescribed by the leaders of sedition, he said.
Ahmadi-Moghaddam's remarks hinted at President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's rivals Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi who claimed large irregularities in the results after the presidential elections in May 2009. Millions of Iranians also protested against the results.
The Iranian police arrested a number of people during a promotional meeting of presidential candidate Hassan Rouhani on Saturday at the Jamaran Mosque in Tehran.
Saeedollah Badashti, the head of the headquarters of the young followers of Hassan Rouhani, was among the arrested people, the reformist website Kalame wrote.
The Mehr News Agency reported that people chanted revolutionary slogans, supporting Mirhossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, the two candidates who protested at results of the 2009 presidential election. The people also voiced support for Hassan Rouhani.
Before the meeting, hundreds of people chanted slogans, including "Our detained leaders should be freed", and "Political prisoners should be freed."
Iran's Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani has said that the judiciary system and the law enforcement force will not allow any fraud and unrest in the upcoming presidential election.
Some western media and their followers inside the country are trying to infuse the idea of vote rigging in the society, so that if their favorable candidate does not win, they will direct minds toward a fraud, he added.
If anyone wants to fuel unrest, the judiciary system will decisively deal with the issue, he said.
Supreme National Security Council Secretary Saeed Jalili, former Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Velayati, lawmaker Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, Secretary of Expediency Council Mohsen Rezaei, Tehran Mayor Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf, President of the Strategic Research Center of the Expediency Council Hassan Rohani, former First Vice President Mohammad-Reza Aref, and former Telecommunications Minister Mohammad Gharazi compete in the upcoming election.
Iran will hold the 11th presidential election on June 14, 2013.
The voters will select the successor of the current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is not able to participate in the elections for the third term according to the country's constitutional laws.
The president of Iran is elected for a four-year term.
