Author and director Marjane Satrapi, along with filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf, presented a document to Green Party MPS in the European Parliament that, they contend, proves that Mir Hossein Mousavi won the most votes in the Iranian presidential election. Makhmalbaf is also a Mousavi spokesperson.
"Ahmadinejad received only 12 percent of the vote, not 65 percent,"
said Marjane Satrapi, who was the director of Oscar-nominated film
Persepolis.
Makhmalbaf, a representative for Mousavi abroad, called the declaration of Ahmadinejad's victory a "coup d'etat" and appealed to the international community not to recognise it.
He explained that Mousavi had called him from Tehran, asking him to inform the world of what is really going on in Iran.
"What happened is not an electoral fraud, but a coup d'etat," he said.
