An Iranian girl living in Japan lights a candle during a vigil in Tokyo on July 25, 2009, protesting the Iranian government crackdown on post-election demonstrators and supporters of opposition presidential candidate Hossein Mousavi. Around 80 Iranian residents in Tokyo turned out for the protest, one of several being held world-wide on July 25 to object to Tehran's response to widespread demonstrations following last month's disputed re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as president.
