Tehran: Iran will on Sunday put on trial 25 more people arrested after protests against the result of June's disputed presidential election, the ISNA news agency reported on Saturday.
"The third session of the elements of recent riots in Tehran will be held on Sunday... in branch 15 of the revolutionary court," a court statement carried by the agency said.
"In this session charges against 25 defendants... will be presented."
The Islamic republic has already put on trial 110 people charged with protesting against the re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Those already in the dock include top reformists, political activists, a French lecturer, and two employees of the French and the British embassies.
The trial of Clotilde Reiss, a French lecturer, has finished, although she remains in custody.
Securing her release has been a diplomatic priority for Paris, with President Nicolas Sarkozy raising the case with other leaders including Syrian President Bashar al-Assad who intervened on his behalf with Tehran.
