At least 79 people were arrested during the protest that took place on Tuesday in various parts of Iran, today reported several web pages related to opposition groups. The mobilization had been called by the reformist opposition movement calling for the release of its two main leaders, Mir Hussein Mousavi and Mehdi Karubi, whose fate is unclear.
The family claims that have been taken from their homes, where they remained locked in solitary confinement since the first week of February and taken to prison while the Iranian judiciary said they are still isolated in their homes, with their wives. The web Sahamnews, near Karroubi, said today that since the two were detained, more than 1,500 people have been arrested by security forces.
The source states that 79 of them were imprisoned during the mobilization of Tuesday, as on previous occasions that was violently repressed. The general prosecutor of Tehran, Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi, admitted that a number of people who did not identify were arrested and claimed that the protests were reduced to a small group of protesters did "nothing special".
"The enemy websites had urged people to take to the streets, but thanks to the police presence was not anything in particular. The police, as is their obligation, naturally dispersed and some arrested," he said. Dolatabadi insisted, also, that opposition leaders remain for weeks at home and never have been transferred to a prison.
"Rumors about the alleged transfer of Mousavi and Karroubi to prison are completely false. They are with their wives at home. If the lights, that's their problem," he said. "The enemies of certain media reports on the transfer of Mousavi and Karroubi Heshmatieh to prison (in the northeast of Tehran) are false," he said.
