More Ignoring pro-democracy victories in Iran

Major media and the government ignores massive protests that have shut down parts of terhan happening on a semi-regular basis.

they ignore the Iranian people chanting Pro-US statements at a time when Anti-US statements are the rule in the middle east

and yet again, the major media ignores the fact democratic forces are fighting for their lives in Iran

and they just bloodied the tyrannts nose again

TEHRAN, Iran – Fearing a boycott after all reformist candidates were disqualified from Iran's upcoming elections, the country's supreme leader on Monday ordered hard-line officials to reconsider the ban against two of them, state television reported.

The Guardian Council, the constitutional watchdog that vets the election candidates, on Sunday rejected all but six of the more than 1,000 people registered to run in next month's presidential elections.

The council, controlled by hard-liners loyal to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, justified its decision in published remarks that made clear it expects the next Iranian president to shy away from attempting the political reforms sought by the outgoing President Mohammad Khatami.

"Thoughts of the president have to be in line with the thoughts of the supreme leader," Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, the council's chief, was quoted as saying in Monday's edition of Saheb-e-Ghalam newspaper.

however supreme leader has seen the protests, supreme leader has seen the youth anger

and supreme leader is buisy trying to build nuclear weapons sooo

But Khamenei, who has the final say on all state matters, called Monday for a review of the two most prominent reformists disqualified, Mostafa Moin and Vice President Mohsen Mehralizadeh.

"It's appropriate that all individuals in the country be given the choice from various political tendencies," Khamenei said in the decree addressed to Jannati.

Khamenei's call is unlikely to appease reformists, who have said the council's vetting policies are illegal, but his intervention may revive hopes for a reasonable turnout in the June 17 election. A higher voter turnout could help legitimize the ruling establishment in its dealings with the international community and undermine U.S. threats to attack Iran.

Yep... the mullhcrocy in Iran knows the score. If they kept the reformists out then they might have done to them whats been done to Syria

but instead of putting pressure on this issue to force the nuclear weapons issue to the Iranian back burner the US government and the US media ignores these human rights struggles

and the EU continues its greedy pursuit of profit
