Tehran:
Security forces attacked the office of Mir Hussein Moussavi, an Iranian opposition leader and former presidential candidate, and seized his computers, Moussavi's Web site said on Thursday.
The Web site, Kaleme, said that with the attack on Wednesday night, "a new wave of pressure and limitations" was being imposed on Moussavi. It said some of his other property had also been taken.
Opposition Web sites reported this month that members of the Basij militia, which is loyal to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, smashed windows and damaged security cameras at the home of another opposition leader, Mehdi Karroubi.
In addition, a prosecutor in Tehran said on Thursday that Moussavi and Karroubi, who have been accused of inciting protests over the disputed presidential election in June 2009, would be put on trial, Bloomberg News reported.
A case has been built against the two men, the state-run Mehr News Agency reported Thursday, citing the prosecutor general in Tehran, Abbas Jafari-Dolatabadi, Bloomberg News said. No details were provided about what charges the opposition leaders might face.
A trial "will take place when it will be in the interest of the ruling establishment and once the public opinion is ready," Mehr quoted Mr. Jafari-Dolatabadi as saying.
The opposition has contended that the presidential election was rigged.
