Mousavi and Karoubi by pointing out the cases of
the two political prisoner who were executed recently stated: "It seems like the
[two] prisoners who were executed [recently] were arrested months before the
election and their cases had nothing to do with the post-election events, and
according to their lawyers they could only have a short meeting with their
clients and the legal procedures were not completed for them. It seems like such
actions is only to scare people and discourage them from participating in
February 11th rally."
EXECUTED: Arash Rahmani Pour and Mohammad Reza
Ali Zamani
Mousavi and Karoubi emphasized: "The
widespread arrests of the political figures, journalists and academia with the
charges of protesting in order to defend their rights is illegal and this is
while the process of obtaining confessions from these prisoners is also in
contradiction to Islamic principles and the constitution of the Islamic Republic
of Iran."
Karoubi and Mousavi pointed out the
sermons delivered by Ahmad Janati, Secretary General of the Guardian Council and
the Imam of Tehran, in this week's Friday Prayer. While expressing regret for
the comments made by an Imam in a Friday Prayer they said: "Unfortunately
instead of using the Friday Prayer's podium to invite people to good, the Friday
Prayer Imam, suggests to the head of the judiciary that if they had not shown
weakness on the events of July 9th (18 Tir ) and if the judiciary would have
executed some then the events of Ashura would have not happened; and he
encourages the authorities to repress and kill people and also justifies the
actions of the authorities in executing some citizens with vague and fabricated
charges. This is a very sad situation that the platform of Friday Prayer has
become a podium for encouraging violence and inviting authorities to execute the
citizens!"
Mousavi and Karoubi announced that the
only way to resolve the current crisis and returning peace to the country is in
releasing all political prisoners, opening the free media, letting the parties
to become active again and holding free election and stressed that: "Now the
majority of the people are present in the scene without any fear in order to
regain their rights, and their demand is to hold free elections but it seems
like unfortunately the voice of the majority of the people is not being heard
[by authorities]."
Mousavi and Karoubi invited all the people to
participate in February 11th rally
Karoubi and Mousavi announced that the
continuation of the current situation will result in harming the foundations of
the Islamic Revolution and the Islamic Republic which have been the outcome of
the efforts and sacrifices of many brave Iranians and added: "It seems like
there is an illusion of conspiracy to overthrow the system among some
authorities, and this trend of thoughts will make the country fall and will
endanger the foundations of the system."
Mousavi and Karoubi emphasised: "The
majority of the people only want to regain their rights and are not seeking to
overthrow the system, but it seems like the rulers are even feeling danger by
this justice seeking voice of the people while the only way to end the crisis is
to listen to the voice of the majority and respond to it [appropriately]."
It is also important to note that
Mousavi and Karoubi invited all the people to participate in February 11th
rally.
