| Taheri: 'Come out and demonstrate against the Great Satan, y'all!' |
| 2002-07-18 |
| Prominent Iranian cleric Ayatollah Jalaledin Taheri, whose fiery criticism of the Islamic state sparked nation-wide political tension, called on Iranians to protest Friday against the US, press reports Thursday. "All Iranians should participate in anti-American protests" to be held Friday nation-wide, the 76-year-old cleric, who is close to moderate President Mohammad Khatami, said in a letter printed in Thursday's reformist press. In his letter, Taheri also voiced his support for reforms. "To solve the problems of which I have spoken and that which was said in the leader's response, one should continue on the path of reforms," Taheri said referring to his resignation letter last week and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's response. "Yes, thank you. I'd love to be pureed in the reform processor." |
