FT.com / Middle East & Africa - Leading reformer is banned from poll in Iran: "Mostafa Tajzadeh, a senior official in Iran's main reformist party Mosharekat, said last night Mr Moein's exclusion meant the poll would be �unfree, a sham, an executive coup�. He told the Financial Times: �The election is illegal and we plan to have serious protests. We will not participate. The person who gets elected will not be a president, but rather someone who just enters the presidential palace.�
Jahanbakhsh Khanjani, a spokesman for the interior minister, said the Guardian Council had �acted above the law� in announcing a �politically motivated� decision on television before either the ministry or candidates had been informed. "
