Tens of thousands — mostly pro-opposition but also some government backers — packed the prayer hall and shouted competing slogans. Hard-liners made traditional chants of “death to America,” while opposition supporters countered with “death to Russia” — a reference to government’s ties to Moscow. Many pro-reform worshippers wore green headbands or wristbands or had green prayer rugs — the opposition movement’s color.

They’re talking about freeing those that openly oppose the Iranian government, but I can’t find anything about freeing the Baha’is. Leniency for political crimes; no mercy with religious crimes.
