Azerbaijan, Baku, August 10/ Trend , D.Khatinoglu /

We have sufficient evidences, documents and facts to sue and arrest Musevi and other reformist leaders, Vice President of the Security Commission of Iranian Parliament Ismail Kosari told Trend .

Kosari said that the available documents and evidences about those who led the riots "will be presented to the court when this will be decided by the Iranian government.

Protesting against the results of presidential elections held in Iran on 12 June, the opposition continually held actions. Making accusations on "extensive falsification" in the elections, the ex-presidential candidates from the reformist camp, Mehdi Karroubi and Mir Hussein Musevi demanded repeat presidential elections. During the actions, more than 1,200 participants were arrested, and 30 people were killed, according to official data.

Kovsheri said that official Tehran is completely aware of Western countries' role in the riots and relationship with the opposition leaders. "The plan, prepared by the West for Iran under the title of human rights, democracy and other, is now clear," Kosari told by telephone from Tehran on August 10.

The second trial towards people, arrested during disorders after the presidential elections in Iran, was launched in the city court of Tehran on August 8. Arrested people are accused of assisting terror groups, placing of explosive devices, transportation of fire-arms, bombs, premeditated attack on police officers and volunteers, attack on universities and police stations, sending photos to foreign print connected with meeting, robbery, violation of order, causing damage to public and public property.

According to information, Frenchwoman Rize and employee of the French Embassy in Tehran, Ms. Dook Afshar also were amongst people accused during court trial.

Kosari said that those arrested admitted that received orders from the West. West itself knows this and tries to justify itself with the help of various kinds of pretexts and statements.

On Saturday, an analyst at the British Embassy in Tehran Hussein Ressam admitted the accusations against him in court, but some observers consider that the recognition was obtained by "pressure, threats and torture". British Foreign Ministry called the trial on Ressam "insult" and demanded to free him.

On August 9, the European Union made a statement that the arrest of the employee of the British embassy is a step taken not only against official London, but also against the whole European Union.

Kosari thinks that the West prepared "factors of coup" inside Iran and intervene in the internal affairs of the country in all possible ways. Official Tehran will reveal all "games" of the West and the international community, and will itself make conclusions based on the facts," said Kosari.

The Vice President of the Security Commission of Parliament said that official Tehran will re-consider its political, diplomatic and economic relations with the West and if necessary, relations with the West will be limited.

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said that the doors of the French embassy in Tehran were open to all who looked for asylum during the actions. Calling it a step of "French democracy", he did not consider it interference in the internal affairs of Iran.

On August 10, the head of Musevi's pre-election campaign Gurban Behzadiyannezhad rejected the relationship of the campaign with any foreign force.
