Also the head of the judiciary Sadegh Larijani made some interesting comments in which he was opposed to the show trials:
Jahan News, a pro-government Web site, reported Thursday that Sadeq Larijani, head of the judiciary, is opposed to the mass trials of political prisoners that the president and his allies have organized.
The report said that he is looking to bring an end to the trials and has ordered the release of three high profile prisoners by the end of the of the holy month of Ramadan, including Saeed Hajjarian, a former deputy minister and reform movement strategist; Mohammad-Ali Abtahi, a former vice president; and Abdollah Ramezanzadeh, a former government spokesman.
Let us pray that these reports are true and the show trials will end with prisoners being released. This is Larijani's latest effort to play nice and try to bring this whole farce to an end by compromising with the reformists. We must wait and see what will happen now the reformists seem to have less pressure on them and may willing to speak openly again.
