Las Cruces, NM – One day after G8 leaders deplored the post-electoral violence in Iran, more than 50 protesters gathered in downtown Las Cruces to express their support of the Iranian people and opposition leader Mir Hussein Mousavi. As KRWG's Evan Woodward reports, those in attendance believe the results of this month's election were fabricated by the Iranian government to keep President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in power.
