/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Over 100 Iranian MPs, including Parliament Speaker
Ali Laridjani , did not attend President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's election
victory party. Ali Laridjani openly backs opposition.
Reception was held in one of Tehran's fashionable palaces. The event
was attended by representatives of Ahmadinejad's campaign headquarters,
as well as Ministers and MPs. But Laridjani and other influential
parliament members did not turn up.
All these tendencies testify to serious dissidence among Iranian top
leaders, BBC reports.
Opposition leaders Hashemi Rafsanjani and Mir-Hossein Mousavi strive
to win Parliament's support for their further actions.
In the meantime, opposition figures won't give up the idea of peaceful
protests. On Friday, they plan to shoot several thousands balloons into
the air in memory of the girl who died during clashes with the police.
Mousavi claims that authorities try to isolate him, and exert pressures
on him for discontinuing protests. On June 24, 70 scholars belonging
to Islamic University Teachers' Association were arrested.
