The Aghajari verdict has stirred the long-dormant student movement, provided focus for popular discontent and injected new life into the standoff between President Mohammed Khatami's reformist parliamentary majority and the hard-line clerics who control the Expediency and Guardian Councils, which form a supervisory executive.
