 "   Iran's hard-line judiciary today began trials of 100 prominent, moderate politicians and others, accusing the country's main reformist and moderate political groups of working with foreigners trying to foment a popular uprising against the government. The opposition immediately decried the charges as groundless and said the mass indictment was filled with errors "

The leaders of Iran are determined

to stamp out all election protests and

make sure they do not happen again

in the future. They will impose harsh

sentences on some of the protest leaders

in order tro make a point about the futility

of opposing the government.The reformers

need tro end protests and start working

on a plan for the next election.
