TEHERAN: Nearly 130 members of Iran's reformist-dominated parliament have signed an open letter to the country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, asking him to break a deadlock holding up reforms, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) said in a report.
It was the latest move by supporters of moderate President Mohammad Khatami to rescue the political reform process in the country, where conservative bodies have blocked new legislation allowing greater social freedoms, justice and democracy.
