An open letter addressed to two-time president (1997-2005) and Reformist icon Mohammad Khatami, urging him to salvage the political movement that he pioneered in 1997, has been signed by 100 Iranian activists.

Meant as a wake-up call for the popular leader of the broadest post-revolutionary movement for social freedoms in Iran, the letter urges Khatami to initiate what has been described as “reforms within the Reform movement” in order to get a derailed train back on track.
