A group of former Iranian MPs has appealed to a powerful clerical panel to investigate if Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is fit to rule.
The call was made to the Assembly of Experts, which under Iranian law has the power to remove the supreme leader.
In a letter, the group denounces the crackdown on protests after June's disputed poll and the resulting trials.
