Iranian opposition figure Mehdi Karroubi will be freed on Monday, ending 14 years of house arrest following his protests against the 2009 election results. His political ally, former Prime Minister Mirhossein Mousavi, is also expected to be released in the coming months.
Iranian opposition leader Mehdi Karroubi will be released from house arrest on Monday, 14 years after he was detained for protesting against the results of presidential elections, state and semi-official media reported.
Karroubi's political ally, former Prime Minister Mirhossein Mousavi, would also be released from house arrest in the coming months, Karroubi's son Hossein told Jamaran, a semi-official newspaper linked to moderate political factions.
Karroubi, now 87, and Mousavi, 83, ran on a reformist platform in the 2009 vote that returned hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to power and triggered mass rallies by protesters who said the results were rigged.
Both were detained in 2011 after taking a leading role in the protests, though they were not put on trial or publicly charged.
