The Basij Trumping Up Charges Against Mousavi

July 1, 2009 by Jonathan Movroydis | Filed Under Barack Obama, International Affairs, Iran, Latin America 

The Iranian regime’s paramilitary group and enforcers of last month’s illegitimate elections want reformist challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi’s head:

The semiofficial Fars news agency said the Basij – known as supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s street enforcers – sent the chief prosecutor a letter accusing Mousavi of taking part in nine offenses against the state, including “disturbing the nation’s security,” which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years’ imprisonment.

This development has seemingly slipped passed President Obama, who is now isolating the Central American country of Honduras for ousting a president who was also on an illegitimate power grab.
