Opposition leaders not imprisoned: Iranian judiciary spokesman
TEHRAN, March 3 (MNA) -- Iran`s Judiciary spokesman Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei dismissed the news reports claiming that two opposition leaders have been imprisoned.
The reports published by certain foreign media outlets claiming that opposition leaders have been transferred to Heshmatiyeh prison are false, Mohseni-Ejei told reporters in Tehran on Wednesday.
“They are in their homes, but certain restrictions have been placed on their communications,” added Mohseni-Ejei, who is also the national prosecutor general.
Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Mahdi Karroubi were placed under house arrest after their supporters staged protests on February 14 which left two people dead and several others injured.
Commenting on the reports claiming that protest rallies took place in Tehran on Tuesday, he said, “These days, our enemies, Zionists, and the United States are making efforts to shoot film of a small incident and claim that demonstrations are being held in Iran and the people are not satisfied.”
However, the Iranian people have seen through such lies, he stated.
Tehran Prosecutor General Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi also told reporters in Tehran on Wednesday that Mousavi and Karroubi are in their homes with their wives.
