Nine months in house arrest

Today the leaders of Iran’s Green opposition movement, Mir Hussein Mousavi, his wife Zarah Rahnavard and Mehdi Karroubi, have spent exactly nine months under strict house arrest.

In the beginning Karroubi’s wife, Fatemeh, was also kept under house arrest. She was however temporarily released this summer due to health problems. As far as I know she is now back in house arrest again.
