Meanwhile, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei endorsed the results of that election today with his recognition of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as president of Iran.
"The teeth of the torturers and confession-extorters have reached to the bones of the people," Mousavi was quoted as saying.
"Witnessing such trumped-up trials, the only judgment that the conscience of humanity can make is the moral collapse and discredit of its directors."
Earlier Fars news agency reported that a group of Iranian MPs had filed a complaint against Mr Mousavi several weeks ago, calling for him to be put on trial for "directing recent riots".
Hardliner Mohammad Taghi Rahba said Mr Mousavi and Mr Khatami were the main culprits behind the unrest.
Mousavi and Khatami are both close to being arrested and tried by this regime, and only their widespread fame has prevented their detention.
French doctors treating a woman from Cameroon have discovered a new strain of the HIV virus that they say comes from gorillas. The woman who came to France from a semi-urban area of Cameroon, will little contact with gorillas, suggesting that she had contracted the virus from someone else who did have that contact.
Previous research had shown the HIV-1 strain, the main source of human infections, with 33m cases worldwide, originated from a virus in chimpanzees.
But researchers have now discovered an HIV infection in a Cameroonian woman which is clearly linked to a gorilla strain, Nature Medicine reports.
"There's no reason to believe this virus will present any new problems, as it were, that we don't already face," said researcher Dr David Robertson.
"This demonstrates that HIV evolution is an ongoing process," he said.
"The virus can jump from species to species, from primate to primate, and that includes us; pathogens have been with us for millions of years and routinely switch host species."
International Energy Agency (IEA) chief economist Dr Fatih Birol claims that the world economy teeters on the brink of economic collapse because the leading oil fields are past their peak, and the world faces growing shortages.
He predicts that the oil crisis will begin to grip the world in 2010.
"One day we will run out of oil, it is not today or tomorrow, but one day we will run out of oil and we have to leave oil before oil leaves us, and we have to prepare ourselves for that day," he said. "The earlier we start, the better, because all of our economic and social system is based on oil, so to change from that will take a lot of time and a lot of money and we should take this issue very seriously."
"The market power of the very few oil-producing countries, mainly in the Middle East, will increase very quickly. They already have about 40 per cent share of the oil market and this will increase much more strongly in the future," he added.
This oil crisis due to shortages, he said, threatens to throttle a recovery from the deep recession the world now finds itself in. Higher prices for oil, he said will result in less economic recovery.
"If we see a tightness of the markets, people in the street will see it in terms of higher prices, much higher than we see now. It will have an impact on the economy, definitely, especially if we see this tightness in the markets in the next few years," he said.
"It will be especially important because the global economy will still be very fragile, very vulnerable. Many people think there will be a recovery in a few years' time but it will be a slow recovery and a fragile recovery and we will have the risk that the recovery will be strangled with higher oil prices,"
With hundreds of billions of barrels of oil locked away from exploration by the US government it is difficult to believe that the world is running short of oil. Shortages, if they exist, are created by government interference in exploration and the marketplace, not because the world is running short of supply.
Politicians are creating an oil crisis, for their own political reasons, and the people of the world will suffer as a result.
