Even those inside Iran's government are calling for a simultaneous trial of those who hit, abused, burned and murdered protesters but apparently the cry from within has yet again fallen on deaf ears as the government has made no moves to bring charges against those at fault.
In today's Globe and Mail Moshen Rezaei, a conservative challenger to the "president" said that trials of those responsible for the attack of protesters and torture or prisoners should go forward, “otherwise, justice will not be realized and it is possible that unrest will not end.”
While former president Mohammad Khatami called the trials a sham and said they would do nothing but “lead to ignorance of the real crimes”. The defendants' lawyers were not allowed to access court files or enter the courtroom. The former president then went on to say “As far as I have learned, what happened in the trial was contrary to the constitution and law, as well as citizens' right.”
So it appears that the Sea of Green, despite its best efforts, is subject to yet another injustice by their government and its choke hold on the population continues. I've said it in previous posts that any court called a Revolutionary court will never give true justice... Iran has yet again proven my point.
I don't know why I'm surprised though, the authorities and the militia have been acting like judge, jury and executioner since June 12th, just as they did to poor Neda who became a worldwide symbol of hope and resistance. Now the authorities are just doing it in nicer clothing and with the protective blanket offered by laws that they seem to invent as they go along.
There will be no justice in Iran, but as long as we keep spreading the news, those who have died and suffered will not be forgotten.

And less not forget the international complicity that have been given to that fuzzy-warm, nice cross-eyed chap from Teheran, Mahmud. Specially the way on which B'rak Hussein Obama decided no to intervene in "the internal affairs of Iran" or even how he decided not to utter a single word of criticism. One don't pull the chain of a cross eyed macaque with an A-Bomb, seems to be his reasoning. Not to mention the intentional disinformation carried on the printed press and the burial of the whole protest under a huge amount of reality TV. Oh, well.... now we will have to sit and watch the sham trials and the executions that will ensue in a circus like atmosphere.
