Iranian Diplomat in Finland Resigns in Protest
(Los Angeles Times) Alexandra Sandels - Hossein Alizadeh, the no. 2 diplomat at the Iranian Embassy in the Finnish capital, Helsinki, has resigned in protest of the hard-line government in Tehran, Finland's national news agency reported Saturday. Alizadeh, a diplomat for more than 20 years, said he quit because he believed last year's presidential election in Iran was unfair and marked by cheating. He also declared his support for Iran's opposition "green movement."
