Reporters authorized to meet Iran protest detainees

6/17/03
Tehran Public and Revolutionary Prosecutors' Offices announced in Tehran on Monday that reporters are now authorized to meet those arrested in the recent unrests in Tehran, IRNA reported.

The prosecutor's office public relations department said in a fax, a copy of which was sent to IRNA, that the courts have authorized reporters to meet and take pictures of the detainees.

It also called the detainees as "hooligans" and "opportunists" warning that the police will strongly confront those who aim to disturb the public peace.

It said among those arrested in Tehran are "corrupt street women" and accused the US as being behind the recent disturbances in the country.

Meanwhile, the head of a key journalists association has written separate letters to Iran's interior minister and police chief, in which he has complained of alleged harassment of journalists by vigilantes during recent on-campus unrest.

Rajab-Ali Mazrouie, the head of the Iranian Journalists Guilds Association, has called for "respecting the prestige and dignity of journalists and guaranteeing their freedom of activity at the time of various events".

"In the course of student protests over the past few days, several journalists have been beaten up by plain-clothes elements as well as unfortunately by police," he said in part of his letters, released Saturday.

"Article 5 of the Press Law recognizes gathering and publishing domestic and foreign news as a legal right, but unfortunately this important right is ignored during some events," Mazrouie, who also represents Tehran in parliament, said.

"The damage resulting from such illegal actions leads to ignoring people's right of being kept informed of the society's events and deprives state officials from the views of informed observers," he added.

Iran protest broadens to writers, teachers

06/17/03

Tehran, Iran - More than 250 university teachers and writers added their voices to students' bold demands for democratic reforms in Iran, telling supreme leader
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that he must answer to the people and abandon the idea that he is God's unchallenged representative on Earth.

The reformists' statement, published yesterday in the newspaper Yas-e-nou, was an encouraging sign for the students who demonstrated for about a week and even called for Khamenei's death before their protests were broken up by police and hard-line government backers.

Those who signed the statement did so even though the protests were put down by violence and even though politicians who have made similar calls in the past have been arrested. The signatories in cluded two aides to reformist President Mohammad Khatami: Saeed Pourazizi, an official in the president's office, and Saeed Hajjarian, who is widely regarded as the architect of Khatami's reform program.

The Bush administration endorsed the demonstrators, saying they "are asking to join the modern world," State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said. He said U.S. support is limited to that and nothing more.

On Sunday, President Bush said the protests showed a yearning for freedom. Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi criticized Bush for the remarks yesterday, saying the comments reflect a "lack of knowledge or animosity and deep hostility" toward Iran.

"These remarks are a blatant interference in Iran's internal affairs," he said. Iran accuses the United States of playing a role in the demonstrations.

On Capitol Hill, 13 repre sentatives led by Rep. Brad Sherman, Democrat of California, introduced a bill Friday to provide U.S. help to democratic opponents of the Iranian government and to dissident broadcasts based in the United States.

The legislation also would impose a total embargo on imports of Iranian goods and allow the president to reduce U.S. contributions to the World Bank and other institutions that assist Iran.

In Vienna, Austria, the head of the U.N. nuclear agency urged Iran to allow more intrusive inspections of its nuclear-facilities to ease concerns that it is developing atomic weapons.

Mohamed ElBaradei's appeal before the International Atomic Energy Agency's board came 10 days after an internal report claimed that Iran had failed to honor promises to disclose its use of nuclear material.

Jamming signals are coming from Cuba, sources say

Anyone have a spare cruise missile?

[happygrl]

DoctorZIn, Thanks for being the voice for the voiceless.

This treachery beween Iran, Cuba and France is a subset of the original Axis of Evil.

It is useful that they have exposed themselves this way.

And may I say, Fidel, that the clock is ticking on you too.

tick...tick...tick...

The Big Three broadcasters won't lift a finger on this story and try to keep it "limited to cable" because it doesn't affect their satellites. They need to keep the adgenda focused on the failure of George W. Bush and not the comming collapse of the Iranian regime and all that entails.

If the mullahs are thrown from power by mere students , Americans and those in the West may start asking - why couldn't this happen sooner and at fewer years of human misery, oppresion and death. This revolution is making a lot of people as a lot of questions in the East and West.

[DoctorZIn]

Is anyone emailing their elected officals and the media about the jamming from Cuba?

[DoctorZIn]

I just heard from Khashayar.

He is ok.
Given the recent events in Iran it is better that I pass along his messages.
