Iran denies arrest of Mousavi, Karroubi
An official with the Iranian Judiciary has refuted reports by certain media that the heads of the sedition movement, Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, were shifted from their homes to a prison.
“Reports by certain media about the transfer of Karroubi and Mousavi to a prison are not correct and  are rejected,†Iran’s Judiciary Spokesman Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei told media on Tuesday.
Foreign media outlets supporting the counter-revolutionaries, pursuing their own objectives, had earlier claimed that Mousavi and Karroubi were arrested and shifted to an unknown location from their Tehran residences late Thursday.
Defeated presidential candidates Mousavi and Karroubi are known as the leaders of the sedition movement for their role in the country’s post-vote unrest.
On Monday, Mohseni-Ejei said restrictions have been imposed on communication networks, including visits and phone conversations, of the leaders of sedition.
He also warned that tougher measures would be taken against the “domestic counter-revolutionary movement”, if necessary.
