Iranian police will deal firmly with any illegal gatherings from now on, a senior commander was quoted as saying, ahead of a planned protest in Tehran on Saturday against last week's disputed presidential election, Reuters reported.

"I should emphasise that all protests held in the past week were illegal and beginning today any gathering critical of the election would be illegal," said deputy national police commander Ahmadreza Radan.

"And police will deal with it (the protests) firmly and with determination," he was quoted as saying by the semi-official Fars News Agency.
