Hossein Karoubi was arrested two days away from another firm of his illustrious father: Mahdi Karoubi. He does know the iranian site Saham News. Mahdi, the leader of the opposition at the head of the green Wave, ran for the elections of 2009, together with Hossein Mousavi. Lost, won, Ahmadinejad. And millions of people went down in the streets screaming to the fraud, in order to participate in what was then called the “protests of the green Wave”, the color used by the main opponent of the winner, the reformist Mousavi. With the defeat, two years later came the house arrest: segregated in-house without formal charges and without ever undergoing a process.
Dad Karoubi, 81 years old, was arrested again two days ago. A few days before, he had publicly called on the supreme leader, ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to step down from his post for his handling of the crash of the plane in the ukraine, shot down in error by a missile in iran.
