Verkrachte Familienfeier

Die Amtseinführung des neuen obersten Richtes gestern muß wirklich eine bezaubernde & harmonische Veranstaltung gewesen sein. Wie so eine verkrachte Familienfeier sich eben gestaltet. Und nicht nur Rafsandjani hat kleine  Spitzen gegen den „Präsidenten“ losgelassen, der Präsident wiederum hat es sich nicht nehmen lassen, noch einmal, wie bereits im Wahlkampf, darauf hinzuweisen, man müsse gegen gewiße Leute gerichtlich vorgehen. Weswegen Rafsandjani schon damals sehr beleidigt war. Der neue Oberrichter wiederum verspricht allen schärfstes Vorgehen und zwei weitere Stimme der Hardliner aus dem Parlament haben die Verfolgung der ersten Garde der „Reformer“ gefordert.

Press TV: On Monday, the Iranian president maintained his pre-vote stance and called for the prosecution of ‚certain officials‘ in the country.

„If the power-holders and the wealthy are taken to court, then there would be no place left for those who hold lower ranks to commit any wrongdoings,“ President Ahmadinejad said in Monday’s ceremony.

Monday marked the second time that the two officials – Rafsanjani and Ahmadinejad — attended a ceremony together after the latter’s controversial re-election on June 12.

According to Iran’s Labor News Agency (ILNA), the Iranian president left Monday’s session before Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani delivered his speech.

Earlier during the inauguration ceremony before the president’s address, Ayatollah Larijani said „no one should dare act against the law and violate the rights of the nation,“ making a pledge not to show mercy to those who violate people’s rights.

„In this critical mission, I vow not to show mercy to wrongdoers,“ the newly-appointed judiciary chief said, promising to subject them to the court of law.

President Ahmadinejad, for his part, welcomed the idea put forward by Ayatollah Larijani.

„I am so pleased that the new judiciary chief has announced that he knows no limits in dealing with wrongdoers,“ Ahmadinejad said.

The call for the prosecution of certain figures in Iran follows an earlier request by Islamic Revolution Guards Corps generals along with Principlist politicians and clerics who urged the arrest and punishment of opposition leaders and their supporters.

Following the controversial trial of post-vote detainees, a Principlist lawmaker, Hamid Resaie, told the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) that „the confessions have opened the way to dealing with the leaders of the unrest. There is no longer any reason to tolerate or compromise.“

Another Principlist figure Elias Naderan said, „Those within the inner circle who managed the unrest must be put on trial. We shouldn’t chase after weak, second-class figures with no influence.“
