Mousavi rally in doubt after Iran leader warning
Fri Jun 19, 2009 7:36pm EDT

By Dominic Evans and Fredrik Dahl

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Backers of beaten presidential candidate Mirhossein Mousavi will decide on Saturday whether to defy a stern warning by Iran's top authority and stage mass protests over a disputed election.

(Editors' note: Reuters and other foreign media are subject to Iranian restrictions on their ability to report, film or take pictures in Tehran.)

Iran's top legislative body holds an extraordinary session on Saturday morning to which it has invited Mousavi and the two other candidates who lost against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the June 12 election, which Mousavi wants annulled.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei demanded an end to the rallies on Friday, issuing a strong warning to leaders of the street protests that they will be responsible for any bloodshed.

President Barack Obama condemned the violence carried out by security forces and believed Iranians should be free to protest, his spokesman said on Friday after Khamenei's speech, sharpening the White House's rhetoric over the post-election events.

Khamenei's words appeared to hint at a future crackdown by authorities on rallies. Khamenei said the election was fairly won by Ahmadinejad and not rigged, as Mousavi who wants the poll annulled has said.

Another defeated candidate, Mehdi Karoubi, called in an open letter to the Guardian Council legislative body for the election to be canceled.

There was no immediate word from Mousavi's supporters whether they would still go ahead with a planned demonstration in downtown Tehran at around 4 p.m. (7:30 a.m. EDT) on Saturday.

An ally of Mousavi said he was not calling on people to take to the streets again. "Mousavi has no plans to hold a rally tomorrow or the day after tomorrow," he told Reuters.

But his supporters may decide to show up anyway, as they did in their tens of thousands last Tuesday despite a call by Mousavi for them to stay home.

If they proceed in defiance of Khamenei's explicit warning, they risk a severe response from security forces, which have so far not tried to prevent Iran's most widespread street rallies since the 1979 Islamic revolution.

"If there is any bloodshed, leaders of the protests will be held directly responsible," the white-bearded cleric told huge crowds thronging Tehran University for Friday prayers.

State media have reported seven or eight people killed in unrest since the election outcome was published on June 13, prompting Mousavi's supporters to hold mass rallies in Tehran, with demonstrations reported in several Iranian cities.

Scores of reformists have been arrested and authorities have cracked down on foreign and domestic media.

In a sign of defiance, Mousavi backers took to Tehran rooftops after nightfall on Friday to shout Allahu Akbar (God is greatest), an echo of tactics in the 1979 Islamic revolution.

"SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY"

Khamenei called for calm in his country, a major oil exporter embroiled in dispute with major powers over its nuclear program which the West suspects could be used to make bombs. Tehran says its nuclear work is peaceful.

He also attacked what he called interference by foreign powers who had questioned the result of the election.

Britain said it had summoned the Iranian ambassador to complain about Khamenei's speech, in which he also called the British "the most treacherous" of Iran's enemies.

Asked about the call by Khamenei for street protests to end, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said on Friday: "He (Obama) believes that those who wish to have their voices heard should be able to do that without fear of violence."

"I think you're ... witnessing something extraordinary ... I'm not sure that anybody even a week ago or so would have expected to see the courageous images that we're seeing now."

Iran's national security council dismissed a complaint by Mousavi, in a letter to the Interior Ministry body earlier this week, about plainclothes men using weapons such as sticks and metal rods to attack protesters.

"Your national duty and responsibility would require that instead of raising charges against police or army forces ... to try to avoid such illegal gatherings and not support them," Fars News Agency quoted its secretary Abbas Mohtaj as saying.

"You are certainly aware that in the event of instigating or inviting such illegal gatherings the responsibility for the consequences would lie with you," he said.

Mousavi has demanded the annulment of the election result, which showed he won 34 percent of the votes to Ahmadinejad's tally of nearly 63 percent.

The Guardian Council is considering complaints by the three losing candidates, but has said only that it will recount some disputed ballot boxes.

It has invited Mousavi, Karoubi and conservative Mohsen Rezaie to an extraordinary session on Saturday to discuss their 646 complaints about the election.

"We are urging candidates to avoid any remarks which can disturb public opinion until the Guardian Council carries out its final investigation," council spokesman Abbasali Kadkhodai told the official IRNA news agency.

伊朗改革派宣布停止示威游行
2009-06-20 人民網

人民網6月20日訊 (安國章)伊朗最高領袖哈梅內伊19日就大選和國內局勢發表講話後,大選失敗的總統候選人穆沙域立即發表講話,要求其支持者停止一切反對大選結果的抗議示威活動。

路透社報道說,伊朗最高領袖哈梅內伊19日發表了支持當選總統內賈德的講話,並警告反對大選結果的人要為自己的過激行為而導致流血負法律責任。在大選中失敗的總統候選人穆沙域當天立即發表講話表示停止抗議行動。報道引用接近穆沙域的權威人士的話說,“穆沙域已經指示支持者20日和21日不要再組織任何游行示威活動,如果決定組織示威活動會事先在穆沙域網站上公布。”

德新社報道說,19日早些時候,伊朗內政部拒絕了穆沙域要求在20日舉行抗議游行的申請。報道表示,穆沙域曾打著標語牌參加18在德黑蘭舉行的大游行,當時他表示要在20日下午舉行更大規模的抗議活動,並發表講話,屆時改革派許多有影響的人士會參加,其中包括前總統哈塔米。他還表示,抗議活動將一直繼續下去,直到取消大選結果並重新舉行大選。

報道評論說,哈梅內伊19日的講話明顯傾向內賈德,並把改革派要求重新舉行大選的路給堵死了。哈梅內伊在伊朗有著絕對權威,雖然反對派心里有不同看法,但也不得不三思而後行,因為哈梅內伊發出了嚴重警告:抗議者要為過激行為負法律責任。

Iran rally to go ahead - Karoubi aide

Sat Jun 20, 2009 4:08am EDT


TEHRAN (Reuters) - A protest rally against a disputed presidential election will go ahead on Saturday, an aide of defeated candidate Mehdi Karoubi said, a day after Iran's top authority demanded an end to such demonstrations.

"The demonstration plan has not been canceled and accordingly it must be held this afternoon," said the Karoubi aide, who declined to be named.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a strong warning on Friday to leaders of street protests since the June 12 vote that they would be responsible for any bloodshed.

His words appeared to hint at a future crackdown by authorities on rallies after the election, which Khamenei said was fairly won by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and not rigged, as defeated candidate Mirhossein Mousavi alleges.

At a mass rally in Tehran on Thursday, demonstrators held banners saying they would gather again two days later at around 4 p.m. (7:30 a.m. EDT).

An ally of Mousavi, Ahmadinejad's main challenger in the election, told Reuters on Friday the moderate politician had not called for people to take to the streets on Saturday or Sunday.

But his supporters may decide to show up anyway, as they did in their tens of thousands on Tuesday despite a call by Mousavi for them to stay home.

If they proceed in defiance of Khamenei's explicit warning, they risk a severe response from security forces, which have so far not tried to prevent Iran's most widespread street rallies since the 1979 Islamic revolution.
