NCRI –\u00a0On December 17 issuing an ultimatum, former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad demanded that the head of the Islamic Republic\u2019s judiciary, Sadeq Amoli Larijani publishes documents related to his conviction within 48 hours. \u201cOtherwise, I would publicly present my findings on the judiciary\u2019s head and his performance during past eight years,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n
Following Mahmoud Ahmadinejad\u2019s remarks on corruption within the regime\u2019s judiciary,chairman of Guardian Council warned that such remarks are not going to be in the regime\u2019s interests as head of judiciary is appointed by regime leader Khamenei.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, regime\u2019s head of judiciary Sadegh Larijani threatens Ahmadinejad with house arrest, describing his remarks as \u2018seditious and harmful for the entire regime\u2019, saying \u201csedition leaders (back in 2009) kept saying that they didn\u2019t accept the election results and the Guardian Council, and now these guys are saying that they don\u2019t give any credence to the judiciary. They encouraged chaos, and these guys are also seeking the same through such moves like sitting in. Sedition does not belong to the past or the present. Raising different kinds of accusations against the judiciary and painting a black picture of the country\u2019s situation is nothing less than sedition as anyone who seeks to harm the very regime through tarnishing its image is actually a seditionist.\u201d<\/p>\n
Larijani then pointed to Ahmadinejad\u2019s remarks on the corruption he and the judiciary are involved in, including the murder of freedom\u2019s martyr Sattar Beheshti under torture, saying \u201cAhmadinejad\u2019s claiming that he shouted at me because of Sattar Beheshti\u2019s case is a plain lie as he didn\u2019t have the courage to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Larijani somehow confessed he played a role in murdering Sattar Beheshti, saying \u201cSattar Beheshti\u2019s case was investigated by the judiciary itself. An offence was committed by a law enforcement officer, but the judge ultimately decided that the offender had no intention for committing the offence and that the offence was semi-intentional.\u201d<\/p>\n
With regard to his daughter\u2019s espionage case, Larijani said that the issue was raised in regime\u2019s Expediency Council, saying \u201cAhmadinejad spoke with secretary of Supreme National Security Council during an Expediency Council meeting, asking him about the latest on espionage case related to Mr. X\u2019s daughter. He responds by saying that it\u2019s basically a lie. Ahmadinejad then insists that the secretary is not aware of the situation, saying that he knows that she (Larijani\u2019s daughter) has been arrested and even knows her whereabouts.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Ahmadinejad releases the letter written by a member of regime\u2019s Expediency Council. The letter accuses Ahmadinejad of moving in line with regime\u2019s enemies, seditionists and anti-revolutionaries, regardless of the country\u2019s sensitive situation.<\/p>\n
In response to the letter, Ahmadinejad writes \u201care you aware of the public discontent and protests against the country\u2019s status, poverty, widening gap between the rich and poor and plundering public wealth? Are you aware of what\u2019s going on in the country? Can\u2019t you see enemies\u2019 plots and their hope for overthrowing the regime, and the consequences they have brought? What do you think should happen so people\u2019s shouts of protest are heard and attentions are drawn to serious dangers that are threatening the regime because of poor performance of such entities like the judiciary?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAuthorities don\u2019t equate to regime\u201d, says Ahmadinejad, adding \u201cDo you know what\u2019s going on in security entities\u2019 dedicated detention centers? Have you ever visited prisons, which were supposed to act like universities?\u201d<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Hamid Baghaei, former vice-president during Ahmadinejad\u2019s term in office, points to head of judiciary\u2019s remarks on his sitting-in, describing them as \u201cblasphemy\u201d, and \u201ca sign of his disbelief in religion\u201d, saying \u201cthe English were the only ones who opposed sitting-in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking at a meeting between students and Ahmadinejad, Baghaee addressed Larijani, saying \u201cyou\u2019re ridiculing sitting-in while that\u2019s what Islamic clerics used to do. You don\u2019t even respect the dress you\u2019re wearing. How dare you insult clerics?\u201d<\/p>\n
As shown in a video from the meeting held on Thursday December 14, Baghaee maintains that \u201cthe only ones who opposed sitting-in in Abdol-Azim shrine were the English, offering the sitters-in to leave the place and go sit in at British embassy instead, and even enjoy the embassy\u2019s meals. Did we go to the English to sit in?\u201d<\/p>\n
At this point in Baghaei\u2019s speech, Ahmadinejad interrupts him to say \u201cyou wouldn\u2019t have been regarded as a seditionist if you had gone there (British embassy).\u201d<\/p>\n
Hamid Baghaee said that head of judiciary\u2019s remarks proves that judiciary officials are lying and that they actually disbelieve in religion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
