Mousavi calls for 'deep change' in Iran; "Iranian opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi said on Wednesday that the condition of the country's prisons showed that Iran needed a "deep change," his website reported." (http://www.reuters.com/article/GCA-Iran/idUSTRE57B3W220090812).

Syria is stepping in to help France get their embassy employee released; "Syria's assistance to France in winning the release of an embassy employee on trial in Tehran signaled to the West that Damascus wants to help defuse tensions over Iran's postelection turmoil, analysts said Wednesday.

France on Tuesday specifically thanked Syria, Iran's closest Arab ally, among countries that had "provided their support" to help free Nazak Afshar, a French-Iranian citizen who is a defendant in a mass trial of pro-reform opposition supporters accused of trying to mount a "soft" revolution in Iran. An Iranian news agency reported Wednesday that French academic Clotilde Reiss, also on trial, could be released soon on bail."

The three Americans may not be released in the near future (http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=8805211315).

Larijani is set to be the new chief judiciary succeeding Shahroudi (http://www.presstv.com/detail.aspx?id=103278§ionid=351020101).

Amnesty International wants permission to monitor the trials in Iran "Rights group Amnesty International on Wednesday urged Iran to allow international observers to monitor trials of more than 100 people accused of involvement in protests following June's presidential election.

"The trial now going on in Tehran appears to be nothing but a "show trial' through which the supreme leader and those around him seek to de-legitimize recent mass and largely peaceful protests and convince a very skeptical world that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was re-elected fairly for a second term as president," said Amnesty Secretary General Irene Khan."
