Former Lawmakers Appeal to Assembly of Experts

A group of former reformer members of parliament is asking the Assembly of Experts to look into the current political situation. In a letter addressed to Rafsanjani, the group goes so far as to ask for an inquiry as to the ability of Khamenei to rule as Supreme Leader:

"The former lawmakers 'demand a legal probe on the basis of Article 111 of the Constitution, which is a responsibility of the Experts Assembly," the letter said. Article 11 says that if the supreme leader "becomes incapable of fulfilling his constitutional duties,' he will be dismissed."
