Prominent Iranian reformist lawmaker, Mohsen Armin, speaks with
a journalist in his office in Tehran, Iran, in this Oct. 3, 2002,
file photo. Armin became the highest-ranking official to assert
that government agents beat freelance photojournalist Zahra Kazemi
to death. He called for the ouster of Tehran Prosecutor Saeed Mortazavi
and other hard-liners whom he blamed for her death. Kazemi, 54,
died in hospital on July 11, nearly three weeks after she was arrested
for taking photographs outside a Tehran prison. (AP Photo/Hasan
