Iran to release report on elections

TEHRAN, July 9 (UPI) -- Elections officials in Iran indicated they will release detailed reporting on the outcome of the disputed June 12 presidential elections in the coming days.

Opposition leaders, led by former Prime Minister Mir Hossein Mousavi, filed a series of complaints over alleged tampering in the Iranian elections to the Guardian Council, the clerical body tasked with overseeing the elections.

Abbas Ali Kadkhodaei, the spokesman for the 12-member Guardian Council, said the body had reviewed more than 600 complaints from the presidential candidates and found no major irregularities.

Kadkhodaei said the clerical body would release an 80-page "detailed report" of the election process in an effort to allay any outstanding concerns over the vote, the semiofficial Fars news agency reports.

"The report will include details of complaints about the election and the results of the Guardian Council reviews, the formation of the special committee and the measures it took and the correspondence with the presidential candidates," he said.

An external review of the elections by Chatham House, a London policy center, found the results in Iran were a "myth."

The report is expected sometime in the coming week.
