TEHRAN (FNA) - A senior Iranian lawmaker questioned reformist media claims on the number of people killed during events after June 12 presidential election in Iran.

Head of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi told FNA on Saturday that the claims in this regard are ""questionable given the fact that no detail on the identity of the victims has been present"".
Ali Reza Beheshti, an aide to failed reformist candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi was quoted on website Kaleme as saying on Thursday that 72 people died in post-election violence, upping an earlier toll of 69.
Another reformist Web site on Friday released the identities of 72 people it says were killed by government forces in the aftermath of Iran's presidential elections. The list is more than double the government estimates which put the death toll of protesters between 25 and 30.
About Beheshti's comments, Boroujerdi told FNA, ""A few weeks ago, Mr. Beheshti and Mr. Alviri (a former mayor of Tehran) came to the national security commission and presented a list of 69 people allegedly killed during the recent incidents without mentioning details of the victims' identities, including the name of the victims' father and their ID numbers.""
""We, in return, asked them to present us with precise details, reminding them that a list of names without details of (the victims') identities lacks any legal value,"" the lawmaker went on saying.
After incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was re-elected as the next president of the country with over 62% percent of the votes cast in Iran's 10th presidential election, supporters of his main rival Mir Hossein Mousavi rejected the results and took to the streets of Tehran and other cities in daily rallies.
But later, millions of Iranian people as well as the Iranian police, IRGC and Basij (mobilized volunteers) forces staged a strong presence and ended weeklong demonstrations and unrests in the capital.
