Leader of Iran's 2009 Green Movement protests to be freed from house arrest, son says

ONE of the leaders of Iran’s 2009 Green Movement protests will be released from house arrest in the coming weeks, his son told state media today.

However, previous speculation that he would be released failed to come true.

Mehdi Karroubi, a Shi’ite cleric, parliament speaker and two-time presidential candidate, has been held in his home since the 2011 uprisings across the Arab world.
