There have been reports that following the rumours regarding the possible arrest of Karoubi, Ayatollah Hashemi-Rafsanjani has announced that should this take place, he will resign from all of his governmental positions (Which are key positions in IR: Head of the Expediency Council and head of the Assembly of Experts). This would be very costly for the regime as it would bring it to a new level of illegitimacy!

Despite intense security measures in the holy city of Qom, people gathered in front of Grand Ayatollah Saneei’s office last night after his strong speech for the Qadr night ceremony and showed thei…r protest to the current events. They were chanting “death to the dictator” and “Coup administration, resign, resign”, “We will meet on Qods Day”.

Grand Ayatollah Montazeri, in a message addressed to other Grand Ayatollahs while condemning and expressing regret for the actions of the coup government, asked other Grand Ayatollahs to follow Prophet Mohammad’s advise and not to be silent while wit…nessing all these oppressions and violations of public rights; and once and for all correct government’s wrong policies and resolve the current illegitimacy crisis.

The Assembly of Combatant Clergymen in a statement invites everyone to participate in Qods Day rallies and announced that they will also attend the demonstration alongside people. They stated that Qods Day is the day to protest to oppression, occupat…ion and assault. It is the day to defend human dignity and freedom in support for all the innocent and oppressed peoples of the world including the Palestinian people.

The Green Wave will attend Qods Day demonstrations in last Friday of Ramadan in same routes set by government but will bring their Green symbols and will protest to coup agent’s behaviour that treats its own people just the way occupiers are treating… Palestinians. Routes have been set in other provinces too and in Tehran if they won’t let Hashemi lead Friday Prayer,Green will end their protest in “Revolution” square.
