Bear with me, my Spanish is truly horrible, but I will summarize it as best as I can. Okay, from what I'm understanding, Chavez is praising Persia, making an error (hence the headphones) which he quickly admits and thanks Ahmadinejad. He declares the greatness of Chavez brings up the eight Imam, and Ahmadinejad corrects him again with the twelfth Imam, and then explains that the eight Imam is in the city (name escapes me) where he visited not long ago. He goes on to say that the twelfth Imam, Mahdi, and Christ will return together, hand-in-hand.
After being asked about their protest, the girl in the blue shirt responds that they are against Ahmadinejad and says "since when do we open our doors to dictators, rapists and those who violate (?) the human rights?". She goes on to ask "when men and women will be equal?" after the fight for women's rights have also been ignored. The reporter asks how long they will be there (protesting); the girl replies: "well, as long as this dictator is in our country, and if more dictators come we will keep up the fight (in protests) against them and their violence against other human beings; in defense of the rights of all Venezuelans and all of humanity."

Grand Ayatollah Bayat Zanjani comments on the division within the political conflict (Farsi) | آیت الله بیات زنجانی ضمن حمایت مجدد از موسوی: تکلیف همه ما ایستادن در برابر انحرافات کنونی است
Summary by anonymous: Grand Ayatollah Bayat Zanjani, one of the Marajeh (the highest ranking clerics) in Qum, requested that all people to withstand against what he described as division from the principle of Islamic Republic. The Grand Ayatollah while described the confrontation in Iran as a confrontation between two ideologies said: “One side is defending the “Islamic Republic” while the other side does not believe in “Republic” at all and interprets the “Islamic” part the way it likes.” He also added that he defends an establishment that has justice, freedom, respect for people’s vote and their rights and all of the Islamic Revolution slogans inside of it. He reiterated that one of the reasons behind the 1978 revolution was the fact that authorities had not learned from the past and added: “Unfortunately after a not very long period we are simply being caught by the same bitter historical experience again.”While vaguely condemning the interference of some military personnel in political issues, Grand Ayatollah Bayat Zanjani added that there is a party in Iran that does not consider anyone other than some military personnel suitable to control the political, social or even technological affairs. By pointing out the events after the presidential election he continued: “… the situation has escalated so badly that after the massive obliteration of the character and ideas of Imam’s allies and making up different false accusations against every single one of them, today they even sometimes attack Imam Khomeini's family.”

- Few days ago Zaribafan, Head of the Office of Veteran Affairs of Tehran, in an interview said that if family of Neda Agha-Soltan (the young girl who was shot and killed by basij during one of the peaceful protests) accept that their daughter was kill...ed by the “conspiracy of the enemies” (i.e. foreigners) then they would be covered by Office of Veteran Affairs and would receive benefits and monthly payments. In an interview with VOA, Neda’s mother stressed that they would never accept that their daughter was killed by “conspiracy of the enemies” to receive benefits and monthly payments! She said that their daughter, like Sohrab and other Martyrs of Green movement, was martyred for freedom and what is important for them is that Neda is loved and honoured by the people of Iran and they are proud of this.
- Norooz: Sharif University students are under increasing pressure, the reports say. The disciplinary committee has summoned at least 6 students. 4 of those students are deprived of studying for a semester. According to Amirkabir newsletter, these students are accused of taking part in a demonstration against a speech given by Kamran Daneshjoo, the minister of Science and Technology, in the university on 7th of Mehr (Oct. 1st). According to the sentence of the disciplinary committee, not only are these students banned from studying for half a year, they are not allowed to enter university grounds. This is, however, a primary sentence which can be repealed.

Summary by anonymous: "Mehdi Karoubi welcomed the recent remarks made by Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei, the General Prosecutor, in which he promised to “take Mousavi and karoubi to court when the time is right”. Karoubi said: “I very much welcome this event so that if during... these years due to some considerations I have not raised some issues, I could do so in details then”. According to the office of Mehdi Karoubi, while Karoubi was attending a ceremony for the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Sadegh (Sia’s sixth Imam) and the day that the Seminary School of Qom was attacked by Shah’s forces, in response to the question regarding this matter said: “Unfortunately in these years the authorities that according to the quote by Imam Khomeini should be the servants of the nation, not only have not paid any attention to this advice but also instead of being responsible and taking fair positions, have confirmed the positions of extremists’ media; so that by doing so, they could hide their unjust behaviour and also insult and falsely accuse others who don’t have any media [to defend themselves]. Karoubi added: “This time not only I am not concerned about the “trial” but also I very much welcome it so that by this mean I can emphasize on my concerns that are raised from national and religious beliefs of the Iranians and Imam Khomeini’s ideas, and clearly reveal those who are oppose to these concerns.”

-According to one of my sources, a 55-year old man attempted suicide by setting himself on fire infront of the Islamic Parliament.

In an interview with Reuters, Ms Ebadi said: “Iranian officials have recently sentenced three people to death to intimidate those confined in prisons.” Regarding these people’s accusations, she said, “This is a big lie as Mohammad Reza Ali-Zamani, one of these convicted, was arrested before the presidential elections and had been told that he would be released given he confess to having participated in the protests.” Ms Ebadi also stated that in her opinion, public dissatisfaction will prevent these executions to take place.
