Germany’s foreign minister summoned Iran’s ambassador on Monday in protest at heavy-handed police action against demonstrators following the weekend’s disputed presidential election.
“The actions of the Iranian security forces are completely unacceptable,” Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on public television.
He also called on Iran to clear up “immediately and without delay” allegations of irregularities in the election, which according to official results was won by a large margin by the hardline incumbent, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Chancellor Angela Merkel later also sharply criticised the crackdown on protesters. “We condemn the arrests made during the demonstrations,” she told reporters, adding that she was concerned about reports of restrictions on press Source
