Karroubi and Mousavi offices raided, documents and disks confiscated

TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iranian authorities closed down pro-reform cleric Mehdi Karoubi’s office on Tuesday, Iranian news agency ILNA reported, and a website said one of his top aides was detained.

Judiciary officials entered Karoubi’s office in northern Tehran and told him and others inside to leave, ILNA said, adding documents, discs and other material were seized.

“Karoubi’s office has been sealed off upon the Tehran prosecutor’s order,” it quoted Esmail Gerami-Moghaddam, a spokesman for Karoubi’s party, as saying. Karoubi came fourth in June’s disputed presidential election.

There was no immediate comment from Iranian officials.

Website mowjcamp.ir said agents raided and searched the home of Morteza Alviri and took him away. It also confirmed the closure of Karoubi’s office.

On Monday security forces raided an office run by allies of opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi, the election runner-up, and confiscated documents, his website said.

Mousavi’s website said it was the premises of a committee set up by him to look into post-election events, including the number of dead and the treatment of people detained during the huge opposition demonstrations that followed the vote.

Karoubi, whose newspaper was closed down three weeks ago, angered hardliners last month by saying some imprisoned protesters were raped and abused in jail.

The authorities have rejected the allegation as baseless but the judiciary and parliament have agreed to look into the issue.

Despite the growing pressure, opposition members seem determined to keep challenging the hard-liners.

Concern has grown that key figures who are seen as the leaders of the opposition movement could be arrested. They include former President Mohammad Khatami, presidential candidates Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karrubi, and the head of the Assembly of Experts, Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.

This concern has grown following recent comments by the head of the powerful Islamic Revolution Guard Corps, Mohammad Ali Jafari.

Jafari said on September 2 that senior reformist figures encouraged the massive street protests following the June 12 presidential vote and tried to undermine the authority of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who holds ultimate of power in the Islamic republic.

Former President Khatami, who is one of the figures named by Jafari, hit back on September 6, accusing the hard-liners of taking a “fascist” approach. He said the hard-liners destroyed “the biggest opportunity” that has come along for Iran and the Islamic establishment in the June 12 vote.

Mir Hossein Mousavi 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 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.

Mehdi Karroubi will not relent in his quest for justice over the abuses and rapes of detainees.

One of the strongest criticisms has come from a lawmaker, Hossein Hashemian, the head of the Imam faction in the Iranian parliament, who said on September 6 that Jafari has become too proud of his military rank.

Hashemian said Jafari should be prosecuted for his comments, which he said go against the views of the founder of the Islamic republic Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Hashemian said Khomeini was against the interference of the military in politics.

Hashemian said Jafari has labeled figures who have held top posts in the Islamic establishment and served the system for the past 30 years as potential foes of the Islamic state.

Hashemian told the website “Parlemannews” that Jafari’s comments could be interpreted as an attempt to destroy Khomeini’s legacy. He added that Jafari, as a military figure, didn’t have the right to interfere in politics.

Two reformist political parties, the Islamic Iran Participation Front and the Militant Clerics Association, have also blasted Jafari over his comments and said that he should be charged.The Militant Clerics Association said it had decided to file a legal compliant against Jafari for spreading lies and leveling accusations against some of its members.

The Participation Front, some of whose key members are on trial over the postelection unrest, said that Jafari’s comments could open room for more action against reformist leaders. The party said that Jafari’s comments and his access to forced confessions by reformists could be a confirmation of the Revolutionary Guard’s role in the June vote and reformists’ allegations that a coup has taken place.

The party says the judiciary should prove its independence by bringing one of its own to court — for the first time.

Also, opposition members are also planning to protest on September 18 during the annual “Quds Day,” when state-organized anti-Israel demonstrations usually take place. Millions of Iranians are anticpated to participate.

Security Forces Raid Mousavi’s Staff Office

Security forces raided Mir Hossein Mousavi’s office, which is headed by Ali Beheshti, and confiscated all documents and records pertaining to detainees on Monday. Perhaps in retaliation to the detailed report of the 72 documented murders by the regime released a few days ago. More on the story here….

Mousavi Outlines The Minimum The Hardliners Can Do To Get The Nation Out Of The Current Crisis.

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:

1. 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.
2. Revising the election law in such a way that free and fair elections can be held.
3. Identifying and punishing those who were responsible for the crimes committed by all organs of the government, including military, police, and the media.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Putting to practice Article 44 of the Constitution regarding privatization so that private radio and television stations can also be created.
8. Guaranteeing the right of the people to gather and demonstrate by putting into effect Article 27 of the Constitution.
9. Passing legislation forbidding the military from intervening in political as well as economic affairs.

Grand Ayatollah Dastghieb Says Post Election Repression Has Tainted The Face Of Islam

Alittle over three weeks ago Ayatollah Dastghieb had called for an emergency meeting of the Khebregan (Assembly of Experts) to review the country’s crisis.

He has spoken again, and this time he has blasted the coup agents for the post election repression and asks how anyone who has been involved in the level of brutality inflicted upon the citizens can call themselves muslim.
