And I don't get why they're blaming the BBC for this. The BBC are just doing their job.

All they're trying to do is divert the iranian hatred of their government onto something the government hates - the western world - which we all know is responsible for everything bad that ever happened ever....ever...

Help bring down gerdab.ir.

 

@IranLiveUpdates: RT: Help stop gerdab.ir please. They are putting up photos of innocent people from demonstrations to identify them... #neda #iranelection

That site's been down already.

Something's wrong with my computer then. :uhoh:

They have the pics of people up and have faces circled in red. It's scary, like they're ordering a hit or something.

Rioters should be executed, says hardline Iranian cleric

article-0-057E78C0000005DC-508_233x383.jpg No mercy: Hardline Iranian cleric, Ahmad Khatami has called for the execution of 'rioters'

 

A hardline Iranian cleric yesterday called for the execution of 'rioters', in a sign of the authorities' determination to stamp out opposition to the June 12 presidential election result.

 

Iran's top legislative body, the Guardian Council, said it had found no major violations in the election, which it called the 'healthiest' vote since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

 

The council had already rejected a call for the annulment of the vote by moderate former Prime Minister Mirhossein Mousavi, who has led mass protests since he was declared a distant second in the election behind incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

'I want the judiciary to ... punish leading rioters firmly and without showing any mercy to teach everyone a lesson,' Ahmad Khatami told worshippers at Tehran University.

Khatami, a member of the Assembly of Experts, said the judiciary should charge the leading 'rioters' as being 'mohareb' or one who wages war against God.

 

'They should be punished ruthlessly and savagely,' he said. Under Iran's Islamic law, punishment for people convicted as mohareb is execution.

Iranian state television said on Thursday eight Basij militiamen were killed by 'rioters' during the protests. State media previously said 20 people were killed in the marches.

The Group of Eight foreign ministers, meeting in Italy, said they 'deplored' the post-election violence and called on Iran to settle the crisis soon through democratic dialogue and peaceful means.

 

'The crisis should be settled soon through democratic dialogue and peaceful means on the basis of the rule of law,' said a final draft statement by the G8 ministers.

 

'We call on the Iranian government to guarantee that the will of the Iranian people is reflected in the electoral process.'

 

Iranian authorities have accused Mousavi of being responsible for the bloodshed, while the moderate former prime minister says the government is to blame.

The authorities have used a combination of warnings, arrests and the threat of police action to drive large demonstrations off Tehran's street since last Saturday with small gatherings dispersed with tear gas and baton charges.

 

Russia, which along with China congratulated Ahmadinejad on his re-election earlier this month, said on Friday it was seriously concerned by the use of force in Iran.

 

Russia was among countries at the G8 anxious not to slam the door on possible talks with Iran, the world's fifth largest oil exporter, over its nuclear programme.

 

'I think there is unity here that it is for the Iranian people to choose their government but it is for the Iranian government to protect their people,' British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said after the foreign ministers' meeting.

 

The 12-man Guardian Council's statement leaves little scope for more legal challenges to the election result, short of an attack on the position of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has expressed strong support for Ahmadinejad.

I fear soon many more will be killed in Iran. The men running the militias and government are brutal murdering thugs who want to kill but have been tame recently with the world watching. But I fear they are at the end of their patience and will become more violent.

Wrong, this is an overwhelmingly democratic movement. When you live in an oppressed society that selects your candidates for you, your best bet is to choose the reformer. However, the movement both within and abroad has now turned into a democratic revolution. And as to your remark on “nuking” the whole place, think twice before making generic callous statements when fans live in and have family in Iran.
