Large demonstrations met by heavy-handed police action have become a near daily occurence in Tehran, as thousands of Iranians gather in record numbers to protest the shady results of the June 12 presidental election. At least 17 citizens have been killed in the resulting violence.

Today, Iran's Guardian Council announced that a partial recount of the ballots confirmed the controversial victory of current leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Tonight, Kansas City's Iranian community will host a candlelight vigil, the second in the past week. The group will gather at J.C. Nichols fountain near the Plaza from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.
