Mousavi's remarks preceded a scheduled gathering Sunday by moderates to commemorate the killing of Dariush Forouhar and his wife, who headed the illegal but tolerated Iran Nation Party. They were stabbed to death by "rogue" agents in 1998. Iran's security forces have warned the opposition not to take part in "street riots," trying to avoid a revival of mass protests that erupted after Iran's June 12 presidential vote, the biggest unrest in Iran since its 1979 Islamic revolution. A witness said dozens of riot police surrounded the area where the mourning ceremony was held to prevent it turning into an opposition rally. "They are dispersing people. The police are not allowing anyone to stop in the area. The police and security forces are carrying batons," said the witness, who asked not to be named. Mousavi said the reform movement would continue despite the government's pressure to uproot it. "The government should not intimidate people to change their path ... this movement will continue and we are ready to pay any price," Mousavi was quoted as saying by his Kaleme website. Unable to stage their own demonstrations, reformers have sought to hijack official protests and have urged supporters to turn out on December 7 when Iran marks the annual Students Day. Police clashed with Mousavi supporters in Tehran on November 4 when an official rally marking the 30th anniversary of the storming of the U.S. embassy turned violent. HEAVY BAIL Mousavi and the other defeated reformist candidate Mehdi Karoubi say the vote was rigged to secure President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's re-election. The authorities have portrayed the post-election demonstrations, quelled by the Revolutionary Guards and Islamic militiamen, as a Western plot to undermine the Islamic Republic. Thousands were arrested for fomenting unrest. Most of have been freed, but Iran's judiciary has fast-tracked sentencing the dozens of reformers, including former senior officials, lawyers, students and activists still in jail. So far five have been sentenced to death and another 81 have received jail terms of up to 15 years. The most senior of those, moderate cleric and former Vice-president Mohammad Ali Abtahi was sentenced to six years in jail, then freed on a bail of $700,000 Sunday. He has 20 days to appeal the sentence. Continued... View article on single page Share: Del.icio.us Digg Mixx Yahoo!
