Iran: fishy

Iran called for reduction of fishing of caviar fishes in the Caspian Sea to protect them.
The quotum for the five Caspian Sea states to catch these fish had been determined as 1,071 tons for the year of 2007.
From this quota Iran has 450 tons, Russia 286, Kazakhstan 182, Azerbaijan Republic 90 tones and the rest belongs to Turkmenistan



Judicial authorities in the Iranian city of Qom have placed the country's former president Mohammad Khatami under investigation for allegedly shaking hands with women - a taboo gesture for Islamists - during a visit to Italy in May.
The Tribunal of the Clergy in Qom, took the decision after several talabeh, or religious students pressed charges related to the incident against Khatami.

Videofootage shows Khatami, a cleric himself, shaking hands with various women.
If the Qom tribunal decides to order Khatami to stand trial, and if he is found guilty, he could be stripped of his status as a cleric.
