Geneva (AFP) Dec 6, 2010
About 100 exiled Iranian opposition members on Monday urged world powers to halt talks with Iran during a protest rally outside the United Nations in Geneva.

The rally, called by the National Council of Resistance of Iran, took place just a few hundred metres away from the location of negotiations between Iran and Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States and Germany, on Tehran's disputed nuclear prgramme
