Iran’s opposition has invited Iranians to attend a massive protest rally in Tehran and other cities on Sunday to mark a week since the deaths of two people in earlier demonstrations. The opposition website kaleme.com said the rallies will be a “fight against religious dictatorship” in Iran.

The announcement came just a day after hardliners called for the execution of Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mahdi Karroubi, opposition leaders who are already under house arrest, for organizing last week’s rallies.
