Clinton: Iran unrest death sentences "distressing"
KABUL (Reuters) – Death sentences imposed by Iran over unrest after disputed elections in June were unfortunate and distressing, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday. Iran's state broadcaster reported Tuesday five people had been sentenced to die over the post-election protests, and another 81 had received jail terms of up to 15 years. "It is a very unfortunate, distressing development to see these sentences handed down in Iran, imposing the death penalty on people who participated in expressing their opposition to the government in demonstrating in the streets," Clinton told reporters in Kabul. "It underscores the approach that the government in Iran takes for their own people," she added

Iran sentences three to death over vote unrest
TEHRAN (Reuters) – A court has sentenced three people to death over street unrest that erupted after Iran's disputed election in June and links to exiled opposition groups, an Iranian news agency reported Saturday. ISNA news agency, citing the head of the publication relations office of Tehran provincial court, did not identify those condemned, giving only their initials. It was the first official statement of death sentences in connection with the presidential poll, which the opposition says was rigged to secure hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's re-election, and the huge opposition protests that followed. The authorities have rejected vote fraud charges and portrayed the protests as a foreign-backed bid to undermine the Islamic Republic. "The execution sentences were handed down because of involvement in post-election developments and affiliation with the Iran monarchical association and the PMOI," the official, Zahid Bashiri-Rad, said.

Iranian ex-MPs challenge Khamenei
A group of former Iranian MPs has appealed to a powerful clerical panel to investigate if Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is fit to rule. The call was made to the Assembly of Experts, which under Iranian law has the power to remove the supreme leader. In a letter, the group denounces the crackdown on protests after June's disputed poll and the resulting trials. Meanwhile a senior cleric has said a reformist leader should be prosecuted for alleging protesters had been raped. Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami said defeated election candidate Mehdi Karroubi's remarks boosted Iran's enemies, particularly the US and Israel. Mr Karroubi has alleged that some protesters - male and female - were raped while detained in prison. He has also said that some were tortured to death.

اصلاح طلبان زورآزمائی با خامنه ای را شروع کردند
* اصلاح طلبان تابوی زير سئوال بردن خامنه ای را شکستند
واشنگتن پست زير عنوان "درخواست اصلاح طلبان برای تحقيق در باره رهبرارشد ايران" می نويسد يگ گروه از قانونگذاران پيشين اصلاح طلب ازيک تشکيلات مذهبی قدرتمند در ايران خواستار تحقيق در باره صلاحيت حکمرانی آيت الله علی خامنه ای رهبر ارشد شده اند، که يک زورآزمائی بی سابقه با قدرتمندترين فرد کشور در مورد سرکوبی های پس از انتخابات است.
واشنگتن پست می نويسد اين درخواست هنگامی مطرح ميشود که بحث و جدل در باره اتهامات حاکی ازشکنجه معترضين توقيف شده در جريان سرکوبی ها شدت گرفته است. آخوندهای تندرو در نقاط مختلف کشور خواستار تعقيب رهبر ارشد اصلاح طلبی شده اند که مدعی است زندانبانان به بعضی از توقيف شدگان تجاوز کرده اند.
واشنگتن پست می نويسد درخواست قانونگذاران پيشين اصلاح طلب به مجلس خبرگان داده شده است که تشکيلاتی مذهبی است، و بر اساس قوانين ايران از قدرت تعيين رهبر ارشد، و در تئوری، از قدرت برکناری او برخوردار است- هرچند که دراين زمينه هيچگاه اقدامی انجام نداده است. .
واشنگتن پست می نويسد حتی اگر درخواست ناديده گرفته شود، و سمبوليک باشد، اين واضح ترين زورآزمائی با خامنه ای درجريان تلاطمی است که ايران را پس ازانتخابات مورد اختلاف رياست جمهوری به آشفتگی کشانده است. اين درخواست در هم شکننده تابوئی بزرگ در ميان طبقات سياسی ايران برای هدف گرفتن علنی خامنه ای است، که موضع او در راس تشکيلات سياسی مذهبی هيچگاه زير سئوال نرفته بود.

Protesters raped in Tehran jail, politician claims
Mehdi Karroubi, one of the defeated candidates in Iran's disputed presidential election, has angered hardliners by alleging that male and female protesters were raped by their jailers in the crackdown following the vote. One hardline cleric has called for Karroubi, who came third in the election, to be prosecuted for making the claims. But undaunted, Karroubi has gone further, saying some detainees were tortured to death. He also compared the treatment of prisoners with that at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. Some detainees were "forced to go naked, crawl on their hands and knees like animals, with prison guards riding on their backs". Others were forced to lie "naked, on top of one another," Karroubi said in a statement tonight.

U.N. experts say Iran tortured to extract confessions
UNITED NATIONS (CNN) -- Three independent United Nations human rights experts have accused Iran of torturing confessions from detainees charged with fomenting political unrest, the international organization said Thursday.
"No judicial system can consider as valid a confession obtained as a result of harsh interrogations or under torture," said Manfred Nowak, who is the U.N. special rapporteur on torture.
The treatment of detainees at Iran's prisons has increasingly become a divisive issue within Iran's Islamic leadership, as reformists continue to accuse the hardline government of allowing abuse and torture in attempts to coerce false confessions.
Iranian officials have denied the allegations.
"These confessions for alleged crimes such as threats against national security and treason must not, under any circumstances, be admitted as evidence by the Revolutionary Court," said El Hadji Malick Sow, vice chairman of the U.N.'s working group on arbitrary detention.
The United Nations, in a news release, said the statements also reflect the position of Margaret Sekaggya, special U.N. rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders.

درخواست از مجلس خبرگان برای بررسی عملکرد رهبر ایران
مجمع نمايندگان ادوار مجلس، از تشکل های اصلاح طلب، در نامه به اکبر هاشمی رفسنجانی، می گوید از آنجا که بسياری از اقدامات اخير نهادهای زير نظر آيت الله علی خامنه ای، رهبر جمهوری اسلامی اتفاق افتاده است، مجلس خبرگان رهبری باید «وفق قانونی» اصل ۱۱۱ قانون اساسی را بررسی کند.
اصل ۱۱۱ قانون اساسی ايران می گويد: «هر گاه رهبر از انجام وظايف قانونی خود ناتوان شود يا فاقد يکی از شرايط مذکور در اصول پنجم و يکصد و نهم گردد، يا معلوم شود از آغاز فاقد بعضی از شرايط بوده است، از مقام خود بر کنار خواهد شد» و تشخيص اين امر بر عهده مجلس خبرگان رهبری است.
مجمع ادوار نمايندگان مجلس، که متشکل از نمايندگان سابق مجلس شورای اسلامی است، در نامه خود از رويکرد نهادهای نظامی و امنيتی جمهوری اسلامی در جريان اعتراضات پس از انتخابات رياست جمهوری انتقاد کرده است.
مجمع ادوار نمايندگان بررسی اقدامات نيروهای امنيتی و نظامی زیر نظر رهبر ایران در جريان اعتراضات اخير را مهم دانسته و تاکيد کرده است که قانون اساسی جمهوری اسلامی ايران می تواند محور احيا اعتماد عمومی باشد.

A look at the leadership structure and powers in Iran
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: The ultimate decision-maker on all major state and religious matters. He appoints all key positions in the ruling theocracy and controls judiciary and Revolutionary Guards. Supporters believe he is incapable of error and answerable only to God.
Guardian Council: Vets all candidates for parliament, president and other elected posts. Power to veto any legislation. Comprised of six Islamic clerics and six legal scholars hand-picked by Khamenei.
Expediency Council: A 32-member unelected group dominated by conservatives and led by former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. Mediates in disputes between Guardian Council and parliament. Advises supreme leader.
Expert Assembly: A group of 87 Islamic clerics. Constitution says it oversees supreme leader, but actual role is unclear.
President: Highest elected leader. Leads most aspects of government, but important decisions need backing of supreme leader. President serves for a four-year term. Two terms maximum.
Prime Minister: The 1989 constitutional changes during Presidnecy of Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, removed the post of Prime Minister.
Parliament: Structured as Western-style legislative branch, but all key measures by 290-seat chamber must have the backing of supreme leader. Main powers in setting budget and other fiscal matters. Law makers have four-year terms.
