Mousavi Speaks Out


For the first time, Iranian opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi spoke out about being isolated and pressured by authorities to withdraw his challenge to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's contested presidential win. USA Today reports that 70 university professors were arrested on Wednesday night after visiting Mousavi. While Ahmadinejad took to State TV to rant against Obama, Mousavi released a statement through his official Web site on Thursday saying authorities had "completely restricted" him and expressing frustration with "recent pressures" to drop his political stance. Mousavi's message does not appear to be falling on deaf ears: Tehranian newspapers are reporting that only 105 of 290 Iran's parliament members attended Ahmadinejad's victory party on Tuesday. Among the high-profile abstainers was Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani, an Ahmadinejad appointee and close ally of the supreme leader's.

If he's going to say things like this and wants to stay alive, he better get out of the country.

Pretty much what Peter said, it's only a matter of time before this dude is history.

Not to wish ill on him... but do you think him turning up dead would help or hurt the movement. It is very likley that his death could be that event that really sparks a revolution.

if he dies the uprising will only get more fierce. He'll be a martyr.

I don't think you realize just what they are up against.

It will be similar result to the Shia uprising in Iraq unless the military defects,the Basiji and militias backing Imanutjob will crush them.

The Coup d’Etat Pecking Order

According to received reports, thirteen members of the revolutionary guard command announced their intention to ‘exit’ their posts within the rule of the supreme leadership subsequent to a meeting with a group of military commanders; the thirteen announced their support for the protestors, and as such they were arrested and are being detained under torture and pressure to confess to being U.S. and Israeli collaborators; they are being forced to confess to espionage.
