Iran releases ex-official on bail in mass trial

By ALI AKBAR DAREINI (AP) – 6 hours ago

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran released a former vice president on a $700,000 bail Sunday after his lawyer said he had been sentenced to six years in prison in the mass trial of opposition figures accused of fomenting the post-election unrest.

Mohammad Ali Abtahi, who served under former President Mohammad Khatami in his two terms from 1997-2005, is the most senior former official among more than 100 people on trial since August.

TEHRAN (Reuters) - The head of a hardline Iranian political party called on Saturday for opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi to face trial for spreading the "big lie" of fraud in June’s disputed election.

Any legal action against Mousavi, who has vowed to press on with his drive for political reform in the Islamic Republic, may trigger new street protests by his backers.

Mousavi and other opposition figures say the June poll was rigged to secure President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s re-election. The authorities reject the charge and have portrayed post-election opposition demonstrations as foreign-backed.

"I believe both Mousavi and all those who propagated this big lie must face trial in a court of law," said Mohammad Nabi Habibi, secretary-general of the conservative Islamic Coalition Party, the official IRNA news agency reported.

Slavery in Nigeria who is to be blamed | ArticlesBase.com

Everyone supports the view of holding the white accountable for slavery in Africa as the issue of slave trade causes conflicts in Kaduna state between the traditional rulers and right group as a human right activist organization demands apology before the constitution from the traditional rulers for their involvement in slave trade.

Quote:

…IRGC intel is now responsible for Iran’s internal security, which means that its rampaging paranoias have suffused the regime. There remain players within the system who can make rational decisions about Iran’s international interests; if there weren’t, I would still be in jail. But the Guards are exacerbating the Islamic Republic’s worst instincts, its insecurity and deep suspiciousness. As world powers try to engage Tehran to mitigate the threat of its nuclear program, it’s critical that they understand this mindset and the role the IRGC now plays within the Iranian system…

…Mr. Rosewater was to be my nemesis for 118 days, 12 hours, and 54 minutes… "We can put people in a bag no matter where in the world they are," he said menacingly. "No one can escape from us"…
