Twenty-five opposition supporters have gone on trial in Iran for participating in demonstrations against disputed presidential election results.
Among the activists being tried is 19-year-old Yaghoghil Shaolian, a member of Iran's Jewish community who told the Fars news agency that he didn't even vote.
Shaolian told the news agency that he wasn't an activist, but had gotten caught up in the demonstration and threw some stones at a bank in central Tehran, which led to his arrest.
Siamak Mereh Sedq, Iran's only Jewish legislator, confirmed Shaolian's Jewish identity and incarceration, and said the detention was not related to his religion.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has accused those who protested against the election results that named him the victor, of being agents of foreign enemies seeking to topple the country's Islamic leadership.
Massive demonstrations continued for close to eight weeks against the skewed election results, which many said were invalid due to irregularities at the polls. Government forces brutally tried to put down the protests, killing at least 20 people and wounding hundreds more. Hundreds of others were arrested for taking part in the demonstrations, many of which were led by opposition candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi.
