Revoltionary Guard Wants Top Reformists Tried

Senior members of the Revolutionary Guard are calling for the trial of Mousavi, Karroubi, and Khatami. Given the problems the regime is having with the show trials it is already doing, it will probably be impossible to put them on trial. Yet the idea of those who have power in the regime calling for such a thing is scary:

"If Mousavi, (defeated candidate Mehdi) Karoubi and (former president Mohammad) Khatami are main suspects behind the soft revolution in Iran, which they are, we expect the judiciary ... to go after them, arrest them, put them on trial and punish them," said Yadollah Javan, a senior Guard commander, the official IRNA news agency reported."
