"Hundreds of Iranians took to the streets here Monday night, hours after the country's supreme leader endorsed President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for a second term in office.
Eyewitnesses and sources in the capital city said the crowds marched on the sidewalks around Vannak Square and Vali Asr Avenue, under the watchful eye of hundreds of Iranian security forces. Some chanted "Death to the dictator," while others said "God is great."
Security vehicles blocked many of the roads leading to Vannak Square, while riot police and members of the pro-government Basij militia patrolled the area on foot and on motorcycles.
One witness said he saw three people detained and taken away in a vehicle."
