He continued: 'His candid expression, devoid of flattery, has angered the wage earners of the absolute velayat-e faqih, those who have shot innocent boys and girls of this land and unleashed hatred upon innocent people; yet he remains steadfast in his covenant and mocks the hollow and superficial strength of this bankrupt group.' Abolfazl Ghadiani, a political activist opposing Ali Khamenei, recently stated in a note that he would be ready to go to prison on Saturday, July 31, by referring to the execution branch of the Tehran Revolutionary Court.

Ghadiani: The removal of Ali Khamenei will occur through the people's uprising. Ghadiani: After harsh criticisms of Ali Khamenei, I am going to prison. A ten-month prison sentence for Abolfazl Ghadiani; 'I eagerly go to prison.' Ghadiani: The nuclear industry is a tool for the continuation of Khamenei's 'illegitimate' regime.
