One-Third of Iranian Parliament Quits in Protest
by Jeremy at 9:07 am EST, Feb 2, 2004

More than one-third of Iran's Parliament resigned Sunday to protest a sweeping ban on candidates running in the parliamentary election later this month. The defiant move threatened to plunge Iran's political system into chaos.

"We cannot continue to be present in a Parliament that is not capable of defending the rights of the people and that is unable to prevent elections in which the people cannot choose their representatives."

The brother of Iran's reformist president was among those who resigned. He said, "This is the end of the reform movement."
