Irn stops the main leaders of the opposition

The two main opponents of the Iranian regime, Mehdi Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Karroubi, have been arrested, according to, cited by the opposition Kaleme web. "Sources say they have been arrested and taken to jail Heshmaiyeh Tehran," says the web site. Both leaders were forced to remain locked in their homes, in a form of house arrest, during the last two weeks coinciding with the popular uprisings in the Arab world.

Critics of the regime of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, took to the streets to demonstrate, and were punished harshly, on 14 February. The international campaign for human rights in Iran, a group of activists in Germany and U.S. employees, said Sunday that Mousavi and Karroubi 27 were taken in secret from their homes by their appeals to the people onto the streets to protest against the Government.
