Iran: Ahmadinejad is a ‘a miracle’ Says Justice Minister
June 8, 2007 by Alexander
Justice minister Gholam Hossein Elham, who also acts as spokesman for the Iranian government, said Thursday that president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is “a miracle” who has saved the country from disaster. “Two years ago a miracle happened because only Ahmadinejad’s election allowed the Islamic Republic to return to the road traced by the [1979 Islamic] revolution,” he said, slamming government critics as “people who don’t follow the revolution and its teachings.”
The justice minister’s glowing remarks come as Ahmadinejad, who became president after a landslide victory in June 2005, is facing increasing criticism at home for the country’s poor economy, the government’s pursuit of nuclear ambitions which has led the UN to impose two rounds of sanctions against Iran and for an Islamic moralization campaign cracking down on civil liberties.

Also in today’s news: Iranian students warn Ahmadinejad that they cannot stop them! Oh the Irony…
The above placard reads: “Mr AhmadiNejad! We have torn off the brakes of the students movements’ train!”.
It’s a very tense time in Iran with workers, students, academics… being arrested on charges of “endangering national security” and things will only get tenser from here on. Next month is the anniversary of the savage and unprecedented attack on Tehran University students (July 9, 1999) who were attacked in their sleep by club/knife wielding Islamists of the state apparatus, leading to several deaths! This event sparked the largest anti-regime demonstrations ever experienced in the 28 year long Islamist occupation and has been marked each year with demonstrations by student-activists. [source]
