Reuters: President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused Iran's judiciary of unconstitutional conduct on Monday for barring him from a visit to Evin prison where a top aide is jailed, a row that provided another sign of his waning power in his final year in office.
Ali Akbar Javanfekr, Ahmadinejad's press adviser and head of the state news agency IRNA, was sent to Evin in September to serve a six-month sentence for publishing an article deemed offensive to public decency.
He was also convicted of insulting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's highest authority, on his personal website, though it is unclear how or when this happened.
Ahmadinejad's influence within the factionalised power structure has weakened since a clash with Khamenei in 2011 over the supreme clerical leader's reinstatement of Intelligence Minister Heydar Moslehi, whom Ahmadinejad had sacked.
The president's request to the judiciary to visit Evin, made public this month, was seen by Iranian media and commentators as linked to Javanfekr's detention, although there has been no official confirmation that this was the case.
The judiciary rejected the request on Sunday, saying it was not in Iran's best interests as it faces an economic crisis. Ahmadinejad's opponents in parliament blame the crisis as much on mismanagement by his administration as on Western sanctions >>>

Homecoming ...
by Harpi-Eagle on Tue Oct 23, 2012 10:10 AM PDTIsn't that ironic that this filthy ape is going back to Evin? In a way this is a homecoming for Mahmood Chita, he administered Coup de Grah (Tireh Khalas) to political prisoners in his younger days as a Pasdar in Evin.
I can hardly wait to see him, Jaani Brothers, Akbar Shah, Ali Geda, Khatami, and the rest of the murderers on a morgue slab just like these bastards did to Shah's Generals by Satan's (Khomeini's) orders.
Payandeh Iran, our Ahuraie Fatherland
His gang member is imprisoned at Evin.
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Tue Oct 23, 2012 06:42 AM PDTDue to in fightings between the gangs of thieves and murderers at the highest level of Islamist regime mafia, one of ahmadinezhad's gang members has landed in the infamous jail, no doubt receiving royal tratment compared to the average political prisoner. So this opportunistic scum, fake of a Docter and "president", is trying to visit his buddy and make some political capital out of it.

His weakening is a pretext to strengthening the IRI
by Darius Kadivar on Mon Oct 22, 2012 04:19 PM PDTA ridiculous attempt to put him down as if he is the equivalent of George W. Bush in what is being repackaged for the hundreth time for Western Audiences as the "Iranian Democracy" ...
Ahmadinejad has been the "useful idiot" the IRI needed from Day One !
The key is to put all the blame on him so as to replace him with a more appealing face (à la Khatami) or to quote the ever clueless Fareed Zakaria by one of Iran's "Kennedy Bros" ( i.e: one of the stinking Larijani Bros) or even the former "Iranian Gorbatcev" (i.e: Rafsanjani)
All this to pave Obama's Future visit to Iran endorsing the Islamic Republic and normalizing the Relations between the US and the IRI hence endorsing Trita Parsi's bid for appeasement with Iran at the expense of the Iranian People.
The Fact of the matter is that the ENTIRE IRI has to be toppled at it's Roots in the Land of Cyrus and Darius !
Trust me ...
OU BA MA NEEST !
