Iran university professors 'held'
About 70 university professors have been detained by Iranian authorities after meeting Mir Hossein Mousavi, according to a website affiliated to the defeated presidential candidate.
The Kalemeh website said on Thursday that it was not clear where the detainees had been taken after they were seized the previous day.
"Mousavi had a meeting with the country's ... professors after which 70 people present in that meeting were arrested," the website said.
Hundreds of protesters, political activists and journalists are believed to have been taken into custody since protests broke out over the disputed re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as president in the country's June 12 poll.
