Support: Huge rally in Paris

Paris: Tens of thousands of supporters of an exiled Iranian opposition group rallied outside Paris on Saturday to denounce the government in Tehran and last week's disputed presidential election.

Scores of chartered coaches brought supporters of the French-based National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) from countries including Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands to an organised event at an exhibition centre near Paris.

Supporters chanted slogans and waved yellow flags and banners reading "In support of the Iranian people". They gave an ecstatic greeting to the movement's leader Maryam Rajavi.

Organisers said 90,000 people had travelled to the Villepinte area to support the movement in more than 1,000 coaches and minivans.
