Iranian Cleric Blasts Ahmadinejad
Aug 27, 2008
An Iranian cleric accused President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of betraying the people and called on reformers to unite to defeat him in next year’s elections, according to an interview in a German newspaper quoted by Reuters, Wednesday.
“Ahmadinejad is not complying with the will of the people,” The Financial Times Deutschland quoted Grand Ayatollah Bajat Sanjani as saying. “This is a major threat, a big danger,” the cleric added in an unusually direct personal attack.
The newspaper also said Sanjani accused Ahmadinejad’s government of breaking the law, seriously violating personal freedom and illegally empowering the Revolutionary Guard.
Ahmadinejad is expected to run for a second term in Iran’s next presidential election, slated to take place early in 2009. His reformist rivals are expected to attack him especially on his economic policies.
Iran suffers from a rising consumer price index, high percentage of unemployment and an inflation of 26 percent.

August 27th, 2008 at 9:06 amI’m surprised that Grand Ayatollah Sanjani hasn’t been arrested and thrown in Tehran’s Evin Prison. I wonder if he’s out of the country.
I read on a highbrow Iranian blog (pro-Shah) that it’s illegal to kill an Ayatollah. Supposedly the Ayatollah Khomeini was given his religious title by the Shah’s enemies to protect his life.
