Vice President Mohammad Ali Abtahi arrives at parliament to present a controversial
bill seeking to increase presidential powers to the reformist-dominated parliament,
in Tehran, Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2002. Since being elected in 1997 and re-elected in
2001, Khatami has seen his power eroded with the arrests of dozens of pro-reform
activists without trial or after closed trials without jury and closure of over 80
liberal newspapers by the hard-line judiciary. (AP Photo/Vahid Salemi)
