Hosseini Ansari-Rad, the head of the Sixth Majlis' Article 90 Commission, in an open letter to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, emphasized what he referred to as the lingering disputes from the 2009 elections. He stated that these disputes cannot be resolved through military, intelligence, and security power, nor through expulsion, exile, discrimination, takfir, or imprisonment. Mr. Ansari-Rad has asked Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to resolve these disputes and prevent further damage, to free those under house arrest, and to issue an order for a review of the judicial cases from six years ago. He also criticized the Guardian Council's view on overseeing elections with legal and jurisprudential arguments. In this regard, I sought the opinion of Ahmad Montazeri, the son of Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri.
