World: Another tough, depressing day for Iran’s opposition
- What has happened to this religious system that it orders the killing of innocent people during the holy day of Ashura?
- Iranian reformist candidate Mehdi Karroubi • Asking a pretty damn obvious question in the wake of one of the most violent and deadly days of protest since the Iranian election. It’s gotten to the point that aides to Mir Hussein Mousavi (the guy who nearly won the presidential election) and Ibrahim Yazdi (who leads the banned Iran Freedom Movement) have been arrested. Shameful. Mousavi’s own nephew, Ali Mousavi, died in the protests yesterday, creating a Neda-like flash point. source
