Iranian security forces killed several protesters including opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi's nephew in a fierce crackdown Sunday on anti-government rallies in Tehran, websites said. TEHRAN (AFP) - – Iranian security forces killed several protesters including opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi's nephew in a fierce crackdown Sunday on anti-government rallies in Tehran, websites said. Witnesses said dozens of protesters were hurt and several arrested during what turned into the bloodiest showdown between protesters and security forces since the height of unrest in June following a disputed presidential election. Opposition website Rahesabz.net said four protesters were shot dead by security forces in central Tehran while reformist website Parlemannews said Mousavi's nephew died in hospital after being shot in the chest. Iranian state television reported that several people were killed in clashes in Tehran between "rioters" -- opposition supporters -- and pro-regime forces out on the streets marking solemn Shiite Ashura ceremonies. "In these clashes, several people from the two sides were killed and several wounded," it said, without breaking down the casualty toll. Police had earlier denied that anyone had died in the clashes, which witnesses said came after tens of thousands of opposition supporters took to the streets for a second straight day to use the Ashura rituals to protest. The authorities' response again drew international criticism. France condemned the violent police action against "simple protestors" and called for a political solution, the foreign ministry said. Witnesses said police first used batons and tear gas in the crackdown, which followed stern warnings by the authorities that they would crush attempts to use the Ashura processions as a launchpad for protests. When this failed to disperse the crowds, they opened fire, websites said. Parlemannews said Seyed Ali Mousavi, the 35-year-old nephew of Mousavi, was shot near his heart during clashes at Enghelab square "and was martyred after he was taken to Ebnesina hospital." "At the moment, Mir Hossein Mousavi, the parents of this martyr of the Green Movement and some political figures are at the hospital," said the website, which is run by the parliament's minority reformist faction which backs the opposition. Opposition website Rahesabz.net reported four people killed but did not identify them. "Three of our compatriots were martyred and two were injured in clashes. The (website) reporter who was on the scene said these three were directly shot at by military forces," A fourth protester was killed later near Vali Asr intersection on Enghelab, it said. AFP was not able to verify the various reports as the foreign media is banned from covering opposition demonstrations. Witnesses said that enraged protesters fought back against the security forces, pelting them with stones and chanting: "We fight and we die to get back Iran." They beat up several policemen and set their pick-up truck on fire, witnesses said, adding that the policemen ran away with blood streaming down their faces. Many protesters, who included women, were chanting "Death to the dictator" and "It is the bloody month and the basij will fall," referring to the Islamist militia which plays a key role in suppressing protests. They also chanted "Ya Hossein, Mir Hossein" in support of Mousavi. Protesters were seen beating their chests in the traditional Ashura ritual as well as shouting anti-government slogans. By afternoon, large numbers of police and plainclothes security personnel on motorbikes had taken control of Enghelab street, a witness said. Rahesabz also reported heavy clashes between protesters and security forces in Isfahan and Najafabad -- the home town of late dissident cleric Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri -- the city of Babol in northern Iran as well as in the southern city of Shiraz. It added that clashes broke out in Iran's second city Mashhad and the central city of Arak and cited "unconfirmed reports" of casualties in Tabriz, Iran's main northwestern city. Opponents of President Ahmadinejad's June 12 re-election have used a series of government-backed public events to mount protests, many of which have ended in clashes with police. The last known deaths during street protests in Tehran were on June 20. The opposition says that at least 72 people were killed in June's protests while the authorities put the figure at 36, including members of the basij. Three protesters also died in custody after being beaten.
