Iran: between the lines

The interim chairman of Iranian Football Federation (IFF),Mohsen Safaei Farahani says that Iran will face problems if FIFA regulations are not met in IFF elections.
FIFA has opposed the candidacy of members of Iran's Physical Education Organization (PEO) in the IFF presidential elections. He says that there are certain rules on who can and who cannot run for the IFF presidency.
If FIFA objections are removed, there will be no ban for Iran.



Reporters without Borders called on the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Louise Arbour, to act over the unresolved murders of five Iranian journalists and intellectuals, nine years after the killings.
"Although 15 Iranian intelligence agents were eventually tried and found guilty of the 1998 murders those behind the killings (see blog) were never prosecuted.An Iranian parliamentary commission concluded that high-ranking figures were implicated in the cases but it was impossible to confront them with it.
These killings caused an outcry and many people still hold commemorations of them, despite the efforts of the authorities to stop them being held.
It is essential that the UN takes a stand to give new hope to the families of the victims that justice will be done one day and those who ordered these murders, will perhaps be put on trial, however much influence they may have."RSF said.
