The Iranian "president" Ahmadinejad will be speaking at the United Nations Assembly on September 22nd. Many groups are trying to organize for massive demonstrations in from of the UN on that day.

If any of you in the New York area can take the time to attend the protest, it would be a wonderful thing. The larger the crowd, the more the mainstream media will pay attention, the more people will see that it's not over.

Many people in Iran are paying close attention to the international protests, please, please let's give them something to boost their morale.

I would give anything to be there, but we are brokebrokebroke, and there's no way I can even think about getting a plane ticket. If you're in the NY area, please attend for me. Wear green and take lots of pictures.

Those of you NOT in New York...could you please help get the word out to any friends or relatives you have in the NY area? It would be very much appreciated...

A group of former reformist lawmakers appealed to a powerful clerical body in Iran to investigate Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's qualification to rule in an unprecedented challenge to the country's most powerful man over the postelection crackdown.

The call came as controversy heated up Friday over allegations that protesters detained the crackdown were tortured. Hard-line clerics across the country demanded that a senior reform leader be prosecuted for claiming that some detainees were raped by their jailers.

The former lawmakers' appeal was to the Assembly of Experts, a body of clerics that under Iranian law has the power to name the supreme leader and, in theory, to remove him — though such a move has never been attempted.

Mahdi Karroubi is soon to present Ali Larejani with evidence about the instances of the rape of detainees. Larejani said he will review the evidence. It has also been reported that witnesses are also willing to testify about these incidents to the parliament.

Karroubi further said that detainees had been tortured to death at Evin and other detention centers. He also added that some prisoners had been forced to take off their clothes and were ‘ridden’ by the guards. This is like riding a horse or a donkey and is considered an act of extreme disrespect in the Middle East.
