Karoubi Update

The previously discussed rumors of Karoubi's imminent arrest prior to Quds Day may have had some truth to them after all. Tehran Bureau reports that in a meeting with university physicians, Karoubi made it known that a case was being prepared against him by the judiciary. Explaining his satisfaction in signing the court summons, Karoubi said "I wrote underneath the order that it would be a good opportunity for me to speak in court about the crimes that even the Shah did not commit."

Meanwhile, a petition is going around to nominate Karoubi for the Nobel Peace Prize.
