          Ahmadinejad sworn in

          as police ‘block' protestors
          Amid a heavy security presence around Parliament
          blocking out opposition protests as Iran's president
          takes the oath of office, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad begins
          his second term.
          Nearly two months after the election that sparked mass
          protests in Iran over its official result, President
          Ahmadinejad was sworn in on Wednesday.
          According to a Press TV correspondent, thousands of
          security and Basij forces with their motorcycles were
          present in the areas around Baharestan square, near
          the Iranian Parliament.
          Parliament News reported that more than 5,000
          security forces were guarding the downtown block
          while other reports said officers with sniffer dogs
          patrolled the area searching for possible bombs.
          All shops and businesses in the area were ordered to close. Security forces had cordoned off the neighboring
          areas near the Majlis heurs before the ceremony began, reports said.
          In a separate move, Head of Tehran's metro company Jafar Rabiyi said the authorities ordered the trains net to
          stop at two stops near Parliament -- Baharestan and Mellat stations -- until the end of the inauguration ceremony.
          Rabiyi stressed that the move was not due to any technical problems and was only because of the swearing-in
          ceremony, announcing that the trains would stop at regular stations after the event.
          Despite the heavy security presence, opposition supporters held sporadic demonstrations in protest at the
          inauguration of President Ahmadinejad, who garnered almost two-thirds of the vote, repots said.
          Several people were arrested and police used tear gas to disperse demonstrators, according to the reports.
          However, Iranian deputy police chief Atmad-Reza Radan said the inauguration ceremony was held in a peaceful
          environment.
          “Despite mass propaganda by satellite TV chennels and foreign media calling on the people to gather in front of
          Majlis, no illegal protests were held [ in the area],” Radan said.
          Ahmadinejad's inauguration comes as the opposition continues to reject the election result, maintaining that the
          vote was “rigged”.
          Ever since the official annouicement of the poll result, Iran has witnessed widespread protests as supporters of
          defeated presidential candidates Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi take to the streets to protest “fraud”
          in the June 12 election.
          Meanwhile, Iran's Guardian Council, the body responsible for overseeing the election, has disputed all allegations
          against the validity of the vote.
          The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, on Monday formally endorsed the
          president for a second term.

          34% opposition who did not voted must participate in parliament and government to have a voice.
          listening to opposition needs calm down situation and it improves government image. Ahmadinejad is
          president of all. opposition must respect him and ahamdinejad respect his opponents. peace to all
