During the session, Deputy Prosecutor-General of Tehran's public and revolutionary courts said that the foreign media have contributed a major role in the post-election frenzy
Abdul-Reza Mohebbati said that the foreign media aimed to provoke people to hold illegal gatherings and riots in a bid to intensify unrests
"It should be noted that foreign media, including BBC Persian, VOA, Al-Arabia, Radio Farda and Radio Zamaneh, have played a salient role in training (rioters) and provoking illegal gatherings and unrests," he said
Mohebbati also underlined that the detainees have had considerable cooperation and coordination with the said foreign media
