Chaos in Rafsanjani's speech in Qom causes him to flee
2006-06-07
NCRI propaganda, may exceed minimum daily salt requirements.
NCRI – Speech by Hashemi Rafsanjani, head of the regime's Council for the State Exigency and second powerful man in the clerical regime was disrupted by protests in the holly city of Qom yesterday. In face of the chaos created he had to break up his speech and leave the town immediately. He was planned to address another meeting in the town but it had to be cancelled.
"Gold-lame curly-toed slippers, don't fail me now!"
Aftab, the state-run internet site, reported that "protests were organized and the protesters were located in six different places and each one was protected by three." The news website added that a number of young people and local residents went to the meeting place as soon as the news broke out in the town and started chanting anti-regime slogans.

#3  This is probable. There has been considerable unpublicized protests in Irant.

#2  presumably this aftab is in Farsi? Would NCRI really lie about something anyone who can speak Farsi can check? Maybe a grain of truth here?
