Supporters ask for autographs from President Mohammad Khatami, right, during presidential
election campaign in this file photo taken May 2001. For many Iranians, May 23, 1997
was a golden day in Iran's modern history, giving them hope for peaceful democratic
changes and a relaxed society. Khatami's program of social and political freedoms
is in tatters; his outspoken allies jailed or harassed; over 50 reformist papers
silenced; and almost all of his promises unfulfilled.
