Iran protests over 'stolen election'

A stolen election. That is what the protestors on the streets of Iran believe this was and the majority opinion outside Iran agrees. David Fuller reports.
Iranian politics is notoriously difficult to predict, with regular upsets in elections such as the reformer Khatami's landslide in 1997.
Even last time, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s victory was a shock. So why are the demonstrators convinced his victory this time is not just a surprise, but an act of theft?
