Mehdi Karroubi At Protests Today – Rafsanjani Breaks Silence - Khomeni's Undoing?

Mehdi Karroubi, Iranian cleric, politician and 2009 presidential candidate, walked with protestors today in Tehran. (See Video) This past week Karroubi and Mousavi refused an offer from Guardian Counsel (Iranian body that oversees the elections) of a partial recount.
Karroubi, a reformist, was responsible for bringing the social networking website, FaceBook, to the Iranian people, using that website as part of his campaign. Facebook has previously been banned in Iran.

Additionally, Rafsanjani, who has the power to remove Khomeinifinally spoke today regarding the violence in Iran. CNN World:

After more than two weeks of silence amid Iran's violent election fallout, former President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani -- a key Iranian cleric -- emerged Sunday to call out "suspicious sources" who are creating a rift between the public and the Islamic government.

He called the aftermath of the June 12 presidential election "a tangled mess, perpetrated by suspicious sources whose objectives are to create differences and separations between the people and the system and eroding the trust of the people in the Islamic system," the Iranian Labor News Agency reported Sunday.


8:00 p.m. Twitter: There are several reports (unconfirmed) on Twitter and FaceBook noting that Mousavi was arrested at his home tonight at 9:30. The backlash from such a move, which would be in keeping with the regimes pattern of arrest, torture and execution, would undoubtedly bring a quick end to the already troubled regime.

Recent “Tweets”:

"Mr.Mousavi, Sea of Green has become a symbol of courage and freedom, it is not only about a vote anymore."

"Karoubi was thr in person & Mousavi stuck in traffic but hrd him through his cellphone & loudspeakers"

"why BBC & CNN reporting things like it's all over now? how can it be over after what gov done to us?"
