Protests boost Iran president
fading efforts for democraj
NOV 27th(281)356-9004
KHATAMI
TEHRAN,
Iran (KRT) —
Pro-democracy
demonstrations
by university
students over
the past two
weeks have
given Iranian
President
Mohammed Khatami a badly
needed boost at a time when his
efforts to loosen political and
social restrictions in Iran appeared
doomed, fellow reformers say.
Before the student protests.
Khatami had threatened to resign
if appointed clerics who wield the
final say in all matters continued
to trample his efforts to improve
democracy and human rights.
The latest of those efforts are
two bills winding their way
through Iran’s parliament that
would place restrictions on the
all-powerful, un-elec ted Council
of Guardians headed by Ayatollah
Ali Khamenei, Iran religious and
political supreme leader.
One would allow the presi
dent to override judicial ver
dicts deemed unconstitutional.
The second would end the
Council’s right to vet candi
dates for public office.
The oversight bodies and
hard-line judiciary have consis
tently blocked Khatami's reform
agenda since he was first elected
in 1997, and they were expected
to strike down the two reform
bills as well, possibly precipitat
ing Khatami’s resignation.
But since Nov. 9, when stu
dents began rallying behind a
condemned academic who had
openly criticized theocratic rule,
the hard-liners realized they
could no longer act with
impunity, said Mohammed-
Reza Khatami, the president’s
brother who heads the country’s
main reform party, the Islamic
Iran Participation Front. The
overwhelming demand for
democratization, while largely
silent, extends far beyond pro
reform politicians, he added,
likening it to an iceberg of
which only the tip is visible.
Even Iran’s Supreme Leader
Khamenei. who opposes
n-1 onus, was concerned ti,
about the students to eiv;!
demands that the ij

Scholar defends identificatioi
of burial box as Jesus’ brotk
TORONTO (AP) — The French scholar who
discovered the purported burial box of Jesus’
brother. James, strongly defended the artifact’s
identification Sunday against skeptical points
raised at a convention of religion scholars.
Despite the doubts. Andre Lemaire asserted
that “myself. I have been very cautious. I say it is
very probable.’’
The animated panel discussion, attended by
800 people, involved mainly crucial technical
points such as grammar and the forms of hand
writing in the inscription, which reads “James,
son of Joseph, brother of Jesus.’’
The words appear on a 1st century bone box
known as an “ossuary,” a form of Jewish burial
that ended in A.D. 70. The New Testament iden
tifies James as Jesus’ brother and the leader of
Jerusalem’s early Christians.
If experts decide the inscription refers to Jesus
of Nazareth rather than some other Jesus, and is
not a forgery, the box would rank as a monumen
tal archaeological discovery.
Since Lemaire reported the box’s existence last
month in Biblical Archaeology Review magazine,
some have suggested the Jesus phrase could have
been added by a forger, more likely in ana
in modem times.
Some scientific questions about the k ij
display at the Royal Ontario Museumit!!S
Dec. 29. may be clarified when the
Antiquities Authority conducts further!^:
