Cleric: some in Iran unrest 'worthy of execution'
Cleric: some in Iran unrest 'worthy of execution'
Iran's increasingly isolated opposition leader effectively ended his role in street protests, saying he'll seek permits for future rallies. A leading cleric demanded in a nationally broadcast sermon Friday that leaders of the unrest be punished harshly and said some are "worthy of execution."
Iran's ruling clergy has widened its clampdown on the opposition since a bitterly disputed June 12 presidential election, and scattered protests have replaced the initial mass rallies.
The official Web site of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi, his main tool of communicating with his supporters, was hacked Friday, leaving it blank, an aide said.
Mousavi has said victory was stolen from him through fraud, challenging the proclamation of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the winner.
Are we more than "appalled" yet Mr. President???? I find it shocking that this is nowhere on the president's lips, and all we hear about is the dead pedophile.
There is history being had as we speak, Where do we as a country stand for this animating contest of Freedom?
