Iran: Green Movement anniversary

The 14 February marked four years since Iran placed Green Movement leaders Mehdi Karroubi and Mir Hossein Mousavi, and Mousavi’s wife, Zahra Rahnavard, under house arrest. The three, as well as Karroubi’s wife, Fatemeh Karroubi, were placed under house arrest in 2011 after they called for demonstrations in support of the uprisings taking place around the Arab world. Fatemeh Karroubi was eventually released, but the others have remained under house arrest without formal charges or prosecution since.
