Websites of opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi have posted calls by their supporters to stage nationwide rallies on Sunday. "We will confront them as per the law," Iran's Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar was quoted as saying on state news agency IRNA when asked about Sunday's expected rallies. "The agents of sedition and sedition leaders, who staged illegal rallies" on February 14 with the help of "monafeghin, monarchists, rascals and thugs, should know that the interior ministry will confront" them, Najjar added. *"Monafeghin," literally "hypocrites," is a catchphrase for the Mojahedin Khalgh Organization (MKO). The exiled opposition group, **listed as a terrorist organization by the United States*<http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/tehranbureau/2010/11/extra-european-union-calls-on-us-to-drop-mko-from-terror-list.html> *, is routinely claimed by the Iranian regime to be the source of various violent acts inside the country, including the killings of 25 Bahman protesters **Saneh Jaleh*<http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/tehranbureau/2011/02/saneh-jaleh-and-the-battle-for-a-slain-protesters-memory.html> * and **Mohammad Mokhtari*<http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/tehranbureau/2011/02/god-let-me-die-standing-remembering-mohammad-mokhtari.html> *.* (In the image at right, an attendee at yesterday's Friday Prayers/pro-government rally holds up a poster with the "official photo" of Jaleh.) Evidence for these claims is rarely produced, and few share the regime's expressed view that the MKO has a significant presence within Iran. Iran’s Karroubi asks to go on trial<http://riseoftheiranianpeople.com/2011/02/20/irans-karroubi-asks-to-go-on-trial/> Posted by Admin on February 20, 2011 TEHRAN — Opposition leader Mehdi Karroubi has asked to be put on trial in public to defend the rights of the Iranian people, his website reported on Sunday. *Sahamnews.org* <http://sahamnews.org/> said Karroubi made the call in a letter to Iran’s judiciary chief, Ayatollah Sadeq Larijani, that was posted on the website as he was under “complete house arrest” and unable to deliver it. “I have a request to you that as soon as possible and through legal channels … a public court be set up so the indictment and defence are heard,” Karroubi said in the letter, according to *Sahamnews.org*<http://sahamnews.org/> . “It should be a fair and public court so the people get to know the truth,” he said, stressing that his “firmness in defending the legitimate right of the people was unshakeable.” The letter was posted on the website on the same day that a group supporting Karroubi and fellow opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi have called for nationwide anti-government rallies. The call from the Council for Coordination of the Green Movement Hope was posted on *Sahamnews.org* <http://sahamnews.org/> and Mousavi’s website, * Kaleme.com* <http://kaleme.com/>, on Thursday, prompting a warning from authorities for protesters to stay off the streets. The Sunday rallies were to commemorate two deaths at protests last Monday when security forces clashed with opposition supporters, the group said. Karroubi and Mousavi, once pillars of the Islamic regime, have rebelled against the establishment since their rival, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was re-elected in 2009.
