Reformer Nouri faces a trial that could change Iran

Article Abstract:

Former Iranian Interior Minister Abdollah Nouri, one of the key figures in the reform movement sparked off in Iran with the election of President Mohammad Khatami in 1997, is due to stand trial on a number of charges, including insulting the prophet Mohammed and defaming Ayatollah Khomeini, leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution. He has warned the country's conservative mullahs that the only way to silence him will be to imprison him. The conservatives still control key areas of power, including television and the courts, even though Khatami has popular support.
