Spokesman: Mousavi Not Allowed To Communicate

Makhmalbaf questioned Khamenei's power, saying that he is "a melting bit of snow," losing touch with the people and trying to speak through his "broken microphone," Ahmadinejad.

"People like Khamenei came to power with the mandate of a revolution conducted by Iran's people, a people who fought because they liked their leader," Makhmalbaf said. "Now, the people don't like the (Islamic) revolution, nor its current leaders."

Makhmalbaf said that in both revolution and reform, the Iranian people weren't able to attain their goals. In turn, Iranians "boycotted" and "befriended" the ballot box, referring to boycotts in the 2005 election that brought Ahmadinejad to power and their record turnout in the latest election.

"This people have begun to see that from now until forever, their destiny is being contained to one path, and they can't be satisfied with that, so they are speaking out," he said.

Makhmalbaf said he and Marjane Satrapi, the author of comic book and Oscar-nominated film "Persepolis," have called on the European parliament to refuse to acknowledge Ahmadinejad's presidency until the people in Iran decide. He asked Iranian expatriates to ask their governments to do the same.
