But in a defiant move, opposition websites posted calls for fresh nationwide rallies on Sunday to mourn the deaths of two people slain in Monday's anti-government protests, while opposition leader Mehdi Karroubi reportedly reiterated he was ready to face a public trial. Karroubi and fellow opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi are under de facto house arrest but have regularly issued messages to their supporters through their websites, including one which led to anti-government protests on Monday that left two people dead and several wounded. The protests angered regime-backers and prompted furious MPs to demand the execution of the pair, who were once pillars of the Islamic establishment. "The treason committed by the movement of sedition leaders is not hidden from anyone," Iran's chief of judiciary Ayatollah Sadeq Larijani was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA. "This group which has rebelled against the religious government should know that while maintaining Islamic compassion we will not tolerate the establishment being compromised." Larijani said steps were being taken by the judiciary against the two and that the authorities were targeting their communication networks. "They (the people) should be certain that we will block the mechanism through which the sedition leaders issue their statements," he said, urging Iranians to be patient and vigilant. Mousavi and Karroubi have regularly issued anti-government statements on their respective websites and had called for a rally in support of Arab uprisings. Heeding the call, thousands of their supporters took to Tehran streets on Monday and turned the gathering into a fresh anti-government demonstration which led to clashes with security forces and militiamen. Despite the angry outbursts from regime backers, Karroubi issued an Internet statement on Wednesday saying he was "ready to pay any price," while Mousavi in a similar way stated that Monday's protests were a "glorious achievement." And on Thursday, Mojtaba Vahidi, an aide to Karroubi, said that the cleric had reiterated to him that he was "ready for a public trial", according to Karroubi's website, Sahamnews.org. Prior to Karroubi's latest remark, an opposition group vowing allegiance to the two leaders, used the Internet again to issue a call for new nationwide rallies on Sunday to mourn the deaths of the two people at Monday's protests. "We invite the noble Iranian nation to attend gatherings in Tehran and other cities on Sunday ... to commemorate the seventh day of martyrdom of the beloved," the Council for Coordination of the Green Movement Hope said in a statement on Kaleme.com, website of Mousavi and on Sahamnews.org. It said the Sunday rallies were also intended to show "decisive support" to the stance taken by Mousavi and Karroubi in "continuing on the difficult path of freedom and human dignity." It will "also show solidarity with our Kurdish countrymen in honouring the blood of these two dear Sunni and Shiite Iranians which was spilled while fighting religious tyranny." Sane'e Zhale, a Sunni Kurd, and Mohammad Mokhtari, a Shiite, were killed in Monday's protest. Tension between the authorities and the opposition have not been as severely strained as they are at present since the aftermath of disputed elections in June 2009, when deadly opposition protests rocked Iran's Islamic regime for months. The protests erupted when Mousavi and Karroubi refused to acknowledge President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's re-election, which they say was massively rigged. Dozens of people were killed, scores wounded and thousands arrested when authorities cracked down on protesters, leading them to adopt, until Monday, a much lower profile. With regime-backers baying for blood, the Islamic Propagation Coordination Council, the body organising regime-backed programmes, has called for a rally against the opposition on Friday. Those joining the rally, the council said, will "scream out their hatred, wrath and disgust against the savage crimes and evil movements of sedition leaders, their Monafeghin (hypocrites) and their monarchist allies."
