Mohammad Reza Nasab Abdullahi, an Iranian journalist in Shiraz, said yesterday [July 1] on his blog that four ballot boxes were discovered in the incomplete building of Shiraz Central Library.  “The Governor of Fars [province] asked the journalists not to mention this discovery…According to election laws, the boxes should have been sent to Tehran.”Today, [July 2] Abdullahi reported that he was put under pressure to remove the news from his blog and deny it.The authorities have announced that these ballots “have nothing to do with the 10th presidential elections … and will be moved to the National Library and Archives of Iran as national files.”

Disturbing

That is the entire NIAC blurb and you are supposed to get the original information from the links to Nasab Adullahi's blog. What is disturbing about it is that NIAC closed down on the day of this reporting (July 2) for the holiday, and as of today as you will see there is no access to Nasab Abdullahi's blog spot. Can't imagine why...One thing you can say about these people, they are efficient.  I wonder what will happen to this guy now.

Here is good link from roozonline.com, also July 2, discussing previous irregularites (and scandal actually) with the ballots in great detail:

Oh, this is good. Apparently the blog spot is now accessible.

However there was definitely a period of a few hours where basically Internet Explorer's search engines said it didn't exist. I don't know whether the informatin on the Shiraz boxes is still there though. Maybe someone could tell me.

I guess I need to relearn Persian... who knew?
