What do you mean? Authorities in Iran had an inquirey into the allegations of vote fraud, and discovered that indeed their were "irregularities" but not enough to sway the end result. Are they not having an investigation of the event were the student dorm was attacked during the first weeks of the unrest? They indeed had a trial in the Zahra case that resulted in aquittal on what amounts to a manslaughter charge.

You are not serious, right? An inquiry is something that by nature must be open to the public. How do you know any investigation has been done in these cases where the whole report by the authorities is that: "We investigated and there was no basis."

Investigating the attack on the student dorm? Good luck. Lots of such promises were given in the aftermath of the similar attack on student dorms in 1999, and after ten years still not a single peson has been prosecuted for a ravage that was done in presence of police. Of course, scores of students who protested the attack afterwards have now completed their jail sentences!

Trial in Zahra Kazemi's case was done under pressure from Khatami, and none of the major alleged culprits was involved other than a low rank officer who was responsible for transferring her from the interrogation centre to the prison! Neither the interrogator, nor the head of prison or prison guards were investigated.

In the case of Zahra Baniyaghoub who was found dead in police custody, because of the prominence of her family originally the junior police officer in the police centre was charged, and then all charges were dropped after a week or two. Her sister (who is a well known journalist) and some other family members are now in jail since the election.
