Answer 2

The charges of election fraud led to widespread protests in Iran in 2009 (option B).

Mass protests erupted in Iran on 23rd June 2009 resisting the leadership of the newly elected President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

• The movement, referred to as the "Iranian Green Movement" ignited after the declaration of 2009 presidency winner.
• The citizens believed that the win for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was unfair and spontaneously moved on the streets to participate in rallies and protests.
• The energy of this movement was derived from the youth and the middle class community of Iran.
• Slogans like "where is my vote" were heard in every corner of many cities.
• The protest was basically to gain freedom and turn Iran into a democratic country.
• The protest ended in 2010 when extreme measure were taken by the government to halt the protests.
