	Tajzadeh rejects charges that Tehran elections were rigged
		Tajzadeh told reporters after announcement of the court verdict that since the beginning he had intended to defend the elections under any condition because they had been healthy.
		Tajzadeh said that he will object to the ruling issued by the court and make the public opinion aware about it as well as his defense.
		Tajzadeh, a close confidant of President Mohammad Khatami was initially tried on charges of "electoral fraud" committed during last year's parliamentary elections which gave reformers a sweeping majority in the Majlis.

	MOSTAFA TAJZADEH, ONE OF THE LAST KHATAMI'S PILLARS SUSPENDED FROM ACTIVITIES
		Tajzadeh, an active member of the Islamic Revolution Mujahedeen Organisation (IRMO), a group that is part of the pro-Khatami and pro-reform second Khordad Coalition (SKC), was accused by the court of fraud and rigging in the Legislative elections of February 2000 in favour of the reformist.
		Tajzadeh reiterated that not only these elections were one of the "cleanest and freest" of all previous ones held in Iran since the creation of the Islamic Republic in 1979, but the rigging was the work of Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, a member of the conservatives-controlled Council of Guardians (CG) who headed the Guardians supervisory committee.
		Tajzadeh said that he had done his best to ensure sound elections and on this basis he did not accept the charge that there were irregularities in the elections in Tehran since this could serve as a prelude to another conspiracy, the official news agency IRNA reported.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Region \| Message to Khatami
		Rather than interpret Tajzadeh's sentencing as a sign that conservatives intend to manipulate voting in the June presidential elections, which Tajzadeh would have supervised, reformists see the jailing of yet another Khatami ally as part of an accelerated hard-line campaign to discourage the president from seeking re-election altogether.
		Tajzadeh skipped the speech he was scheduled to give at a student meeting at Tehran University the day after his sentencing, but a throng of students waved his photo about, shouting that his only crime was "standing up to the guardians of power."
		Tajzadeh already had a brush with the conservatives late last summer, when he was blamed for unrest that broke out in the city of Khoramabad.

		Tajzadeh has also been accused of inciting the troubles last August in Khorramabad, in which a student gathering was broken up amid clashes between reformist students and radical hardliners.
		The attack on Tajzadeh seems to be a not-too-subtle attempt to remove reform sympathizers from the vote-counting process for the June 8 Presidential elections.
		The arrest of Tajzadeh not long after he was designated to oversee the June vote count is heavy-handed and obvious, but the hardliners are not known for their subtlety.

		The BBC's Sadeq Saba says that although the reformists have accepted their defeat, they are also reminding their conservative rivals that there is no winner in a poll in which the majority of the people did not bother to vote.

		Tajzadeh became a hero of the reform movement when as supervisor of the parliamentary elections he defended the reformist victory, which the country's hardline Guardian Council threatened to annul.
		The decision is seen as a stepped-up campaign to discourage moderate President Mohammed Khatami from running for reelection, rather than as a move to facilitate rigging the June vote itself.
