Newspapers on Thursday highlighted the remarks made by various Iranian officials about the pro-Establishment demonstrations of December 30, 2009.
The reactions to a recent report by Shahrvand newspaper about dozens of homeless people who sleep inside graves in a cemetery near Tehran also received great coverage.
