| Summary/Abstract |
On 7 February, the Iranian parliament (Majlis-e Shora-ye Islami) summoned President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for questioning over his domestic and foreign policies. Ahmadinejad has a month in which to appear before the legislature, in what is the first time since the Islamic Revolution in 1979 that parliament has demanded to cross-examine the president. This timetable means he could appear close to the 2 March legislative elections.

| Summary/Abstract |
Violence toward corpses and graves, especially the unusual practice of exhuming and burning remains, persisted sporadically through the 20th century in Iran but found new dimensions in the form of mass graves and a systematic desecration of cemeteries in the period following the 1979 Islamic Revolution. This paper seeks to explore the roots of cemetery violence by examining the dynamics of apostasy and the experiences and challenges Babi and Baha?i converts faced in their interment practices in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This period witnessed a significant change in communal identities. Unconventional self-definitions expressed in religious conversions and in fluid or multiple communal affiliations and religious convictions defied traditional boundaries and led to tension between nonconformists and religious authorities. One way for Shi?i ?ulama? and Jewish rabbis to reassert a conventional center was through the control of cemeteries, including by not allowing converts to be buried in these semisacred spaces.

| Summary/Abstract |
For the majority of Iranians who went through the Islamic Revolution of 1979 with high hopes, the "Spring of Freedom" (Bahar-i Azadi) never really bloomed except perhaps on the specially minted gold coins issued in March 1979 by the Provisional Government of Mahdi Bazargan. Revolutionary optimism quickly died out and gave way to a long winter of discontent. For the peoples of the Arab world who are presently witnessing an "Arab Spring," the turn of events may be different. Though the current movement has yet to fully unfold, potentially taking months or even years, and though it is unrealistic to generalize about all Arab countries as if they were one monolithic unit, there are features that set today's movements apart from the 1979 Iranian Revolution as much as there are striking parallels.
