Khatami and Mousavi Meet

Here is what happened,

Mir Hossein Mousavi and Seyyed Mohammad Khatami met with each other. In this meeting while emphasising on firm adherence to the constitution, the pure values of the Revolution and defending the Islamic Republic; they expressed deep concerns over the continuation of the current horrible situation especially the recent arrests, restriction of the fundamental freedoms which is contrary to the constitution and Islamic and moral values, increase of unethical behaviours and insults and false accusations, and the denial of the rights of those who have been attacked to respond and defend themselves.They stated that the current situation is first and most damaging the Revolution, the people and the country.

They also emphasised that our mature and vigilant people who especially because of the Islamic Revolution have found their path to justice, freedom, independence and prosperity, will not deviate from their path by force and pressure; and the devotees of the Revolution, Imam and the greatness of Iran and Iranians, despite all problems and threats will not abandon their holy and national duty. What today is needed more than anything else is the returning to the constitution and avoiding contradicting or distorting it or unduly justifying against this great national covenant; and if the means of evaluating and commenting on the policies and the actions [of the authorities] are shut for those that there is no doubt regarding their devotion and loyalty to the Islamic Republic and the greatness and independence of the homeland, if the civil protests and presence of people is confronted and if the official platforms and media that should serve the values of the revolution and interests of the society taint the environment more by fraud, forgery, spreading lies and insulting and degrading others.

Surely this will be the best opportunity for those movements that are against the principal values of the Revolution and establishment to become active. It is in the future interest of the country to open up the current militarised environment and that the national media and press can practice their duties immediately.
