as once more expressed his dismay over the on-going illegal house arrest of Green Movement leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mahdi Karroubi.
According to pro-opposition RASA television, in a meeting with Karroubi’s son Ali Karroubi on Tuesday, Khatami recounted Karroubi’s outstanding bravery before the revolution and praised his role during the reform years (1997-2005) as “the brave son of the revolution.”
During the meeting, the veteran reformer expressed regret over the continued house arrest Karroubi and his wife Fatemeh Karroubi and hoped that the two would be released along with fellow opposition couple Mir Hossein Mousavi and Zahra Rahnavard “as soon as possible so as to prevent further discouragement amongst the admirers of the revolution.”
