“IRAN: Opposition leader's wife Zahra Rahnavard implicitly calls for peaceful protests during fire festival. The wife of Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi called on country's green-themed protest movement to come out in full force during an upcoming annual fire festival but to refrain from using violence. "Chaharshanbeh Souri is a national and ancient tradition for Iranians," Zahra Rahnavard said of Tuesday night's upcoming celebration in an interview with Kaleme.com (Persian). "It is an occasion for festivity. The Green Movement will certainly be joyful and prosperous on that occasion. But the Green Movement is a movement of kindness, resistance and calm. We will commemorate [the movement's martyrs] without showing any violence or virulence."……..”

I hope they go through with it. It is part of their traditions, and one way for young people to have fun under the mullahs (the festival, not the protests. Come to think of it, the protests may not be a bad idea either).
Cheers
