In a press conference on June 23, U.S. President Barack Obama condemns the Iranian government's "unjust" treatment of protesters disputing the recent election results.
Obama said the international community was "appalled and outraged" by the "threats, beatings, and imprisonments" of demonstrators.
Protesters in Iran have demanded that the government re-run the June 12 election that saw an overwhelming victory for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the presiding president.
At least 19 people have been killed in post-election clashes across Iran between protesters and riots and police and paramilitaries.
