Demonstration of mourning tomorrow in Tehran


Tomorrow a demonstration and mourning ceremony, for the victims (now estimated to be in order of thousands, since the body many many people who have been arrested during June-July demonstrations have been given to their beloved ones for burial during the past two weeks) of recent events in Iran, will take place in Tehran's "Mosalla" (Huge mosque built for gathering people in extraordinary religious occasions).

Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karrubi two candidates of the last presidential election have asked the inner ministry for permission to demonstration! Mohammad Khatami the reformist ex-president and an ally of Mousavi has also supported the action and declared himself as a participant of the rally. A few of Grand Ayatollah's from city Qom are going to take part reportedly.

Yesterday the inner ministry has declared that to receive permission application for mourning! and such permission should have been asked from the families of the victims!!! Well, that means "No"!!

But Mousavi, Karrubi, and Khatami have announced that they will take part, and so do a lot of people.

I still don't know mow many people may take part attend and how the anti rebel forces will react. But a minimum of friction is expected between the paramilitary forces and the demonstrators!! Complimentary news will be posted tomorrow evening.
