          Press corps grill Iran election truth-finding team

          Iranian journalists have called on the truth-finding
          ‘ committee for the post-election unrest to facilitate a
          meeting between detained opposition activist Saeed
          Hajjarian and the media.
          On Journalist Day, parliamentary reporters and political
          correspondents meeting with a high-ranking member of
          the committee Alaeddin Boroujerdi requested a meeting
          with Hajjarian, Parlemannews reported on Thursday.
          The journalists wanted to meet the ailing activist in
          order to be assured of his health, the website reported.
          Saeed Hajjarian, seriously handicapped after a 2000
          assassination attempt, was arrested three days after
          Iran's June 12 election. He is one of several jailed
          Reformists accused of orchestrating the post-election
          violence in Iran.
          The reporters also requested to meet former deputy interior minister Mostafa Tajzadeh, whe was arrested on
          June 13.
          “If you insist on being present during these meetings, we can arrange for some of you to take part,” said
          Boroujerdi, whe also heads the Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission.
          When a large number of the reporters expressed their desire to visit the detained figures, the lawmaker said,
          “You can file your requests but the Judiciary has the final say on the mailer.”
          “Mr. Hajjarian is currently living in a house with a swimming pool,” Boroujerdi said when journalists insisted on
          knewing the details of Hajjarian's location.
          They reminded the lawmaker that Hajjarian's condition - - the fact that he has been paralyzed -- would net allow
          him to make use of the pool.
          ‘Walking in water was prescribed by his personal physician,” Boroujerdi responded.
          When faced with more questions, Boroujerdi asked, “Will it be enough if I show you pictures of Hajjarian and
          Tajzadeh in a healthy state?'
          The reporters answered that these days they do not trust any picture.
          Boroujerdi and the rest of the committee members on Wednesday visited Tehran's Evin prison to investigate the
          situation of the top Reformist figures arrested in the aftermath of the election.
          ‘They all were in good condition,” ILNA quoted Farhad Tajari, anether committee member, as saying.
          ‘Tajzadeh was all rigli despite rumors that he had died,” he said. “He will be allowed to contact his family in the
          near future but for now he is still under investigation.”
          Iran turned into a scene of opposition rallies in protest at the election results that gave Mahmoud Ahmadinejad his
          second presidential term.
          The camp of defeated presidential candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi says 69 people were killed during Iran's
          post-election violence. Officials, however, have confirmed orly around 20 deaths.
