Neck of the woods

“Mehdi Hashemi, the son of Expediency Council Chairman Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, who arrived in Tehran late on Sunday, attended the court hearing on Monday.
After his arraignment, he was sent to prison. He faces charges of inciting unrest after the 2009 presidential election. He returned home after spending three years in Britain. Faezeh Hashemi, the daughter of Rafsanjani, was also put in prison on Saturday as she had been sentenced to a six-month jail under charges of spreading propaganda against the system…………”


There are many in Iran who are of the system but against the ‘system’. There are many who support the system but oppose the regime. They include not only the younger generation, but also many older clerics in Qom and other places who do not accept the philosophy of an unelected supreme leader. Even those who support the concept of an Islamic Republic. Then there are the thousands who are unknown and are in prison.
