Iran: police beat mourners at 'Angel of Freedom' service.
Tear gas and baton charges were used against hundreds of people who had gathered at the grave of a protester, Neda Agha-Soltan, killed during last month's post-election demonstrations.
Two challengers for the position of president were forced to abandon visits to the grave and a mass gathering at a mourning hall in central Tehran was also broken up.
