Fresh clashes have erupted in Tehran during the funeral of a student killed in anti-government protests on Feb 14, Iranian state television says.

Rival groups of pro- and anti-government protesters both claim the dead man as one of their supporters.

Saneh Jaleh, 26, was among two people killed during the protests, when thousands of opposition members rallied for the first time in more than a year. The protests come amid a wave of unrest in the Middle East and North Africa.

Wednesday's clash took place during Mr Jaleh's funeral procession, which started at Tehran University in the centre of the capital, BBC reported.

On Monday, February 14, thousands of supporters of opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi took to the streets of Tehran to demonstrate their solidarity with the opposition movements in Tunisia and Egypt, which have both succeeded in toppling their unpopular leaders. Two people were killed and several wounded during Monday's clashes with riot police in Tehran.
