Basij's student branch has urged Iran's Attorney- General to take Mir-Hossein Mousavi to court over his alleged role in the recent unrest in the country.

The student Basij, in a letter to the Attorney-General referred to Iran's 10th presidential election as a "national epic that has disappointed the Islamic Republic's enemies".

"Unfortunately, Mr. Mousavi's remarks and his behavior after the election, especially his illegal importunity to complain about the election results through channels that are not legal are against the country's regulations," the letter read.

Basij forces also accused Mousavi of "inciting his supporters to take to the streets to stage protests", a move that has inflicted "irreparable damage" to the country, Fars news agency reported.

Basij also accused Mousavi of "undermining national security" and "mounting a propaganda campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran."
