Iranian Cleric Rafsanjani Banned From Saying Quds Day Prayers 2009-09-16 17:02:15 (50 weeks ago) Posted By: Intellpuke (Read 823 times || 0 comments) A powerful cleric who supports Iran's opposition movement has been barred from delivering Friday prayers during Quds Day in Tehran, an annual day of solidarity with the Palestinian cause that is being turned into a protest against authorities in a move that suggests the declining influence of Iranian moderates within the political elite. Instead of Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, Friday's speakers will be President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his hard-line ally Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami, the semi-official Iranian Labor News Agency reported, citing a spokesman for the prayers commission. Protesters opposed to Ahmadinejad's re-election are planning to take to the streets Friday in an attempt to transform the annual rallies in favor of Palestinian rights into opposition marches. Presidential candidates Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, who lost to Ahmadinejad in a June election marred by allegations of vote fraud, along with former President Mohammad Khatami have announced plans to join protesters. Supporters of Mousavi's Green Path of Hope movement responded defiantly to the news that Rafsanjani had been pushed aside, calling on demonstrators to take to the streets anyway while boycotting the prayer sermon after the rally. "They kept Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani from leading this week's Friday Prayers clearly out of fear," said a statement posted at the reformist website: www.Mowjcamp.com . "This badly thought-out gesture will certainly elicit an appropriate response from the understanding and green-thinking nation of Iran."
