Reformers call for probe of Iran supreme leader

A group of former reformist lawmakers appealed to a powerful clerical body in Iran to investigate Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's qualification to rule in an unprecedented challenge to the country's most powerful man over the postelection crackdown.

The call came as controversy heated up Friday over allegations that protesters detained the crackdown were tortured. Hard-line clerics across the country demanded that a senior reform leader be prosecuted for claiming that some detainees were raped by their jailers.

The former lawmakers' appeal was to the Assembly of Experts, a body of clerics that under Iranian law has the power to name the supreme leader and, in theory, to remove him — though such a move has never been attempted. There was no immediate response from the assembly to the group's letter, sent late Thursday.

I don't care if the guy is the leader, the Supreme leader, the Super-Supreme leader, or the Superior leader, he needs to be probed for his crimes against the Iranian people. I hope pretty soon that there will be a movement or slogan saying that "Khamenei is NOT God's representative on the Earth, he is a tyrant!"

P.S.   I am NOT the girl in the video, haha!

thanks,
