After close to four weeks of fasting, the holy month of Ramadan ended and Muslims everywhere marked the event by attending the Fetr Eid Prayer. Most of these people went home with the fabulous sense of having finished a holy ritual. That was not the fate of everyone, though.
When a small group of Iranian Muslims gathered to say their prayers, they were attacked by tear gases and the angry guards who arrested an unknown number of them. The event took place when the heads of the Liberation Movement of Iran and its sister organizations and some of their members wanted to pray together, and not attend the official prayer. The party has long been outlawed by the state [Persian].
I don’t understand what the regime has against these people.

Serves them right for having helped bring about the clerics to power 28 years ago. Have very little sympathy with these people who even now ,despite their massive wealth, won’t lift a finger to help the pro-democracy movement in Iran.

I dont know about these people now, but I do know that their erstwhile leader Ibrahim Yazdi is a criminal of the first rank. This cut throat tried to sell Iran out to the CIA years before he sold it out to the Mullahs. Young Iranians shouldnt fall for these types of traitors.
