Iran’s opposition leader calls for mass protests
Mousavi wants day of mourning on Thursday for those killed in unrest

Defeated pro-reform candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi urged supporters Wednesday to stage protests or gather in mosques on Thursday to mourn those killed after disputed elections that set off Iran's worst unrest since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's victory against the Mousavi sparked demonstrations and bloody street battles in Tehran which killed at least seven people on Monday while other protests flared up in cities across Iran.

"A number of our countrymen were wounded or martyred," Mousavi said in a statement posted on his Web site.
