Description

Ayatollah Khamenei, Supreme Leader of Iran since 1989, screws down a book press onto a book inside which people are trapped; blood flows out of the book and onto the floor. He announces that he has closed the book on the Iranian election and that when the blood clots it will be almost impossible to open it again. Refers to the protests and killings after the fraudulent elections that saw Mahmoud Ahmadinejad returned as president of Iran. During the mass protests following the June 2009 presidential elections more than 20 citizens were killed and nearly two thousand people were arrested.
