The demonstration in Tehran today (Fars) December 27, 2006 -- A group of Basij militia members today gathered in front of the UN office in Tehran to protest against a Security Council resolution imposing limited sanctions on Iran for refusing to suspend its uranium enrichment work.

They also urged Tehran to pursue its peaceful nuclear activities with greater determination.
