The strong resistance took place in Tehran after the Iranian presidential elections on June 12, 2009. During the presidential elections in Iran on June 12, the current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gained 66 percent of votes. His main rival, Mir Hussein Mousavi accused the government of falsifying the results of voting. The people dissatisfied with the results of the elections caused clashes between police and opposition supporters. Clashes killed 27 people and about 1,032 people were arrested.
A partial recount of the elections, conducted by the Supervisory Board of Iran, did not affect the final results of presidential elections - Ahmedinejad won the elections.
