Tame Iranian Students Call For High Turnout in Elections
2004-02-14
Representatives from Islamic Associations of Iranian Students headed by Office for Fostering Unity (Shiraz Group) urged people to take part in the upcoming Majlis elections, Fars News Agency reported. People may vote in the elections or they may abandon all factions, Hamid Kushki, a member of the association said during a meeting at Iran University, Tehran. “On the other hand, we can adopt no particular position and let people decide themselves.”
"Naw... I wouldn't do that."
He also noted that, although some popular candidates were disqualified, people should find eligible ones and vote for them, saying that by so doing, they can thwart possible external threat, which may occur ‘if we give up altogether.’ Those hopefuls who have taken silent policy should encourage people to participate in the elections, Kushki stressed. “At the same time, they can condemn any sort of fanaticism,” he added.
