© IRAN-RESIST.ORG – August 3 2009 | The former president Khatami described the trial of his reforming friends as a travesty of justice. Some conservative deputies requested as for them that Mussavi should be judged for “extremist acts” and Rafsanjani asked everybody to keep calm “so to not endanger the regime.” We don’t mention anymore contestations but political class.

Four days ago, on July 30th -last week’s working day in Iran- about ten thousands of people went on the streets after the call of the national opposition that is hostile to the regime.

This day, we heard in several places of Tehran the same slogan that was clearly hostile to the nature of the regime : “Independence, freedom, Iranian Republic” which refers to the key slogan of 1979’s revolution : “Independence, freedom, Islamic Republic.”

Iranians screamt the un-Islamized version and each time, they were greeted with the unison klaxons from passing drivers.

Normally, we should have talked and discussed sharply about it all the more that the only one reaction it aroused was a negative one and came from Mussavi. In an interview granted to his own website GhalamNews.ir -hereafter- he clamed : “The single slogan of our movement that is composed of millions of sympathizers is an Islamic Republic and nothing else.”
