TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Supporters of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his main political rival attended demonstrations at separate locations in Tehran on Tuesday amid continuing unrest and street protests over last week's presidential election.
With pro-Ahmadinejad crowds gathering at Vali Asr Square in central Tehran, Mir Hossein Moussavi urged his own supporters to cancel their plans to rally at the square following mass protests a day earlier in which seven people were reportedly killed.
Instead, his supporters gathered at a different location in Tehran, according to video footage of the rally.
The location could not be confirmed because of the restrictions imposed on foreign media Tuesday by the Iranian government.Reporters from international news outlets, including CNN, have been relegated to broadcast from their hotel rooms and offices only.
