Sunday Roundup: A Puddle of Black Versus a Sea of Green

Is Ahmadinejad afraid to come to New York next month to speak to the United Nations? Same source provides this recent photo: Ahmadinejad not so popular at home either.



A puddle of black versus a Sea of Green.

"Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has 72 hours to get approval from Parliament of his choices for Cabinet ministers. Otherwise, under Iranian law, the way is [open] for dissolution of the Government and new elections."

Latest statement from Mousavi (which was reprinted in FULL on PressTV site:
“Our election campaign was conducted under the Constitution and the principles which the Iranian nation holds dear. We still remain committed to the same slogans.”

More here. Mir Hossein!

Same source reports more Russian rethinking of government's support of Ahmadinejad. Also, more moves against Khamenei by clerics and others and:
"An Iranian website is reporting a statement from the “conservative” Society of Teachers and Researchers of Qom, whose members include Mohammad Yazdi and Ahmed Khatami, calling on the Government to ensure detainees’ rights and to curb illegal actions committed during arrests and detentions."

Another chilling account of detention and torture here.

Tehran Bureau has a good roundup here. Shemiranat Friday Prayers Leader Hojjatoleslam Mohsen Doagou says:
“A velvet revolution is the revolt of the people to seize political power without bloodshed; a military coup is military men seizing power; a political coup is seizing political power by manipulating public opinion,” he continued. “This is while the candidates and their supporters before and after the election proved their devotion to the establishment and Imam Khomeini [by demanding] the governing of the country in line with the constitution.”

There is no confirmation of this info yet AFAIK but this post makes some interesting points so am passing it along. Via Anti-Mullah. (I am not anti-Mullah as I've met some great ones but am anti-theocracy.)

Have you Green Mailed yet today?
