Leader of Iran's Association Defending Press Freedoms, Mohsen Kadivar, listens to
questions during a press conference in Tehran, Monday, Jan. 27, 2003. Kadivar said
un-elected hard-liners were stubbornly resisting reforms sought by popularly elected
legislators, an act that was strengthening the idea that the ruling establishment
didn't appreciate democracy. 'We tell our children that the main message of the 1979
(Islamic) revolution was freedom and respect for people's votes,' he said. (AP Photo/Vahid
