On Friday afternoon, opposition leader Mehdi Karroubi has visited the media fair in Tehran. After a large group of his followers greeted him loudly, he was attacked when leaving the exhibition hall. Reports on the attacks can be found here .
Karroubi has issued a video message to the events of yesterday. He seems unfazed, and even though he was injured on Friday by a projectile, like to see on his face no more. Here is the translation of his message:
Mehdi Karroubi:
the name of God, the Gracious and Merciful.
regard to the events yesterday at the media fair, three points are mentioned. One relates to the circumstances, the second to the motives and the third to myself
to the circumstances: I've always gone to shows and will continue to do so. During this visit, on the one hand, people have taken to very generous way to express their kindness, and I even turned around and asked them to call no slogans. On the other hand, individuals - and have been those who have it all kicked off - to get started, "Death to the hypocrites," to provoke the people. The vast majority of people stood there and shouted slogans, others shouted slogans too, and after a While we left the exhibition. had, and follows the scheme that some people planned - - On the way out, she introduced us to a direction in which the people behind us could not follow us free, which meant that she appeared a bit more radical.
The second point concerns the behavior. That was not the first time early in my visit to Masoumeh shrine on the occasion of the martyrdom of Imam Sadegh ... Wherever I go, such actions become the norm. Fortunately, people react spontaneously. You want to prevent me from attending meetings, and isolate me, as they have closed the offices of my party and [unintelligible] (Note: The offices of Karroubi political party Etemad-e Melli and his newspaper Etemad-e Melli had been reached in early September. A report to be found here .) You want me to sit at home and not go outside. That is the reason why they do these things - to dissuade me to go out.
The third point I want to mention is that they take these measures because of me. I am not a novice in these things, and I have not only recently begun to express me so. In 1989, after the death of Imam Khomeini, I was with the 3rd Parliament created and denounced the deviations that have taken place in the Assembly of Experts ...
In all these cases, I have always taken a clear position. I've always expressed, and I have lived through difficult situations. Even then many of my friends were summoned daily to the special clergy court or in regular courts. I was always steadfast and have these hard times endured.
(Note:. Karroubi here aims at the heart of the identity of the Islamic regime and understanding of Velayat-e Faghih - the leadership of the right - from deriving the Supreme Leader's power as Karroubi mentioned, has this philosophical question of the regime since Khomeini death of a burden: What exactly is the role of the Assembly of Experts and how much unchallenged power is exercised by the Supreme Leader from? Hard-liners believe that exercise the Assembly of Experts no supervision of the supreme leader should be and that the applicants for the position of Supreme Leader rather disclosed as selected.)
was I also isolated in those days, and the people had questions on the supervision and the Assembly of Experts do not realize ... Today, however, the people are united, at least true of a majority of people, and they have positioned themselves and are steadfast.
In such circumstances I must be present on every occasion - be it a demonstration, whether it is the commemoration day on 22 Bahman (Note: date of the victory of the revolution on February 11, 1979), it is Ashura (Note: Holy celebration in memory of the martyrdom of Hossein). What day and what place it always is: we must be present. But we are one step to go further. So far we have not told our friends wherever we go, etc. Now we say it, even if we risk ourselves with the criticism of our friends. We will not retreat. We remember our pact with the Imam and the people, we remain of the Islamic Republic and the Constitution faithfully. We do not deviate from this path, with God's blessing, and we fear nothing.
God willing we will see who was loyal and who is not. Under suitable conditions, when both groups are either in power or not both be We see who has and who does not repent.
If a group is in power and the other has nothing, one can talk about repentance as long as you want. Those who need to repent are those who have betrayed the Islamic Republic and departed from it are those who have robbed the Islamic Republic and destroyed their Islamic nature of their Republican identity, until nothing was left as her name.
