Mohammad Khatami was elected as the President of Iran in 1997 after having based his campaign on a reform program promising implementation of a democratic and more tolerant society, the rule of law and improvement of social rights. After taking office, Khatami faced fierce opposition from his powerful opponents within the unelected institutions of the state which he had no legal power over, and this led to repeated clashes between his government and these institutions (including the Guardian Council, the state radio and television, the police, the armed forces, the judiciary, the prisons, etc.). After 8 years of presidency, he is widely considered to have lost the power struggle with his opponents. Many of his supporters have grown disillusioned with him and the reform programs that he was associated with. ==The reforms== The promotion of civil society and the rule of law are the key elements in Khatami's reform program.()() *Initiating Iran's city council elections *Voicing the idea of civil society and the rule of law *Full commitment to Iranian constitution of the time (any revision in the law must be done through legal routes) *Calling on people to criticize high-ranking authorities; (the supreme leader is not a holy personality) *Giving permission to newspapers to express a wide range of political views *Reopening the embassies of all European countries *Reorganizing the ministry of intelligence of Iran; after the Iran's Chain Murders of Intellectuals *Initiating a dialogue between people of different faith inside and outside Iran 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mohammad Khatami's reforms」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
