The Seven-Point Manifesto of the Iranian Resistance

A very interesting post from www.jihadwatch.org!

The Seven-Point Manifesto of the Iranian Resistance
Calling for the resignation of Khamenei, and more. These points are all good, with the exception of the call for Mousavi, a founder of Hizballah and an architect of the Islamic Republic's intelligence agency, to be made President -- but maybe he is the best they have at this point. The "preparation for the implementation of new constitutional amendments" is promising: I would like to see a call for equality of rights for women and religious minorities, and the abolition of stoning -- genuinely, not the show abolitions that the mullahs have put over on the West in the past.
"The Seven-Point Manifesto of the Iranian Resistance," from Pajamas Media, June 16 (thanks to Benedict):
The following document, known as the Seven-Point Manifesto, calling for the resignation of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, has hit the streets of Iran. Hundreds of thousands of copies have already been circulated throughout the country.
A copy was sent from Tehran to filmmaker and activist Ardeshir Arian, who has translated it for Pajamas Media:
The Seven-Point Manifesto calls for:
1. Stripping Ayatollah Khamenei of his supreme leadership position because of his unfairness. Fairness is a requirement of a supreme leader.
2. Stripping Ahmadinejad of the presidency, due to his unlawful act of maintaining the position illegally.
3. Transferring temporary supreme leadership position to Ayatollah Hussein-Ali Montazery until the formation of a committee to reevaluate and adjust Iran’s constitution.
4. Recognizing Mir Hossein Mousavi as the rightfully elected president of the people.
5. Formation of a new government by President Mousavi and preparation for the implementation of new constitutional amendments.
6. Unconditional release of all political prisoners regardless of ideology or party platform.
7. Dissolution of all organizations — both secret and public — designed for the oppression of the Iranian people, such as the Gasht Ershad (Iranian morality police).
