"Iran's reformist interior minister has ordered the closure of offices set up by hardliners to screen candidates for next year's legislative elections.
Abdolvahed Mousavi Lari on Saturday instructed all provincial governors to stop the operations of the supervisory offices set up by the hardline Guardian Council throughout the country, the government-run daily Iran reported Sunday. "
Baby steps. This is removing some of the damn dikes in Iranian politics. We'll see how those Feb 2004 elections go. 2004 is going to be an interesting year for those all around the world.
I still don't understand how Election Day is not a national holiday here. It should be in any democracy.
