Iran Puts More Post - Vote Detainees on Trial

08-24-2009 • Reuters

Iran began its fourth mass trial of people accused of fomenting unrest after the disputed June presidential election, state broadcaster IRIB reported.

The official IRNA news agency said earlier those to be put on trial in a Tehran Revolutionary Court included former Deputy Interior Minister Mostafa Tajzadeh, former Deputy Foreign Minister Mohsen Aminzadeh, former government spokesman Abdollah Ramezanzadeh, and Iranian-American scholar Kian Tajbakhsh.

The June 12 vote plunged the Islamic state into its most serious internal crisis since the 1979 Islamic revolution and exposed deep divisions in its ruling elite.

Wow! This is amazing! Even Iran is ahead is providing due process for its political detainees/prisoners. The US can learn a lesson or two here from the Iranis.

This is an example of the self-limiting nature of psychopathy: tightening the screws, feeding the coming explosion. Wonder how long it will take before he is hanging from his heels from a lamp post.
