Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Musavi has said he is working on the charter of a new political front that would lay the groundwork for a large-scale social movement. The charter, which Musavi has said will be issued in the coming days, is seen as a potential means of building on the unity exhibited by those protesting the results of Iran’s June 12 presidential election.Musavi, who’s been described by some as the “accidental leader” of the Green opposition movement, says the charter of his new political front seek to realize the “neglected potential” of the Iranian Constitution. Musavi provided few details, but during a July 23 meeting with members of the media he indicated the charter would go beyond his reported intention to form a group or front. He said it will aim to be a unifying foundation for those who have joined the Green movement. “We are looking for a slogan that would increase people’s adherence and connection and would be used by people,” his website quoted him as saying.
