An Iranian revolutionary court is to hold on Monday the fifth hearing in a mass trial of protesters accused of rioting after the June presidential election, the official IRNA news agency reported. Some reporters for Iranian media will be admitted to the 9:00 am (0430 GMT) hearing before the Tehran revolutionary court but foreign media will be barred, IRNA said.

Iran has put about 140 protesters on trial for contesting the re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the June 12 poll. Those on trial include leading reformist politicians, activists and employees of the British and French embassies.
