Mir Hossein Mousavi has issued a new statement explaining how he envisions the future and the role that the “Green Path of Hope,” the movement that he is founding, can play in it. The strongly-worded statement accuses Ayatollah Khamenei — without naming him — and the hardliners of distorting Islam,
violating the Constitution, destroying morality in society, and forgetting the ideals of the 1979 Revolution, the most important of which was political freedom for all.
He then went on to list the minimum the hardliners could do to get the country out of the current crisis:
- Forming a truth commission, one whose findings and verdicts are likely to be accepted by all sides, to investigate the violations of law, fraud during and after the election, and punishing those who were responsible.
- Revising the election law in such a way that free and fair elections can be held.
- Identifying and punishing those who were responsible for the crimes committed by all organs of the government, including military, police, and the media.
- Helping those who have been hurt and injured after the elections, especially those who have lost loved ones; releasing from prison all the campaign workers and political activists; dismissing the bogus charges against them; restoring their credibility, and ending all the threats against them.
- Putting into practice Article 168 of the Constitution by defining precisely what constitutes a political offense, and using a jury when the offenders are put on trial.
- Guaranteeing freedom of the press, and changing the biased behavior of the Voice and Visage in order to eliminate all the limitations on its programs so that the political parties can use the Voice and Visage to express their positions regarding various issues, and revising the law that governs the Voice and Visage to make it responsive to people’s demands.
- Putting to practice Article 44 of the Constitution regarding privatization so that private radio and television stations can also be created.
- Guaranteeing the right of the people to gather and demonstrate by putting into effect Article 27 of the Constitution.
- Passing legislation forbidding the military from intervening in political as well as economic affairs.
