April 23rd, 2011 - Saham News reports that after 71 days of House arrest, Fatemeh Karroubi, long denied the right to a medical checkup, was finally allowed to leave the house for medical examinations.
Fatemeh Karroubi has been under house arrest along with her husband Mehdi Karroubi as of February 10th, 2011. It is worth mentioning that the house arrest of Karroubi, Mousavi and their spouses was enforced by security forces on the morning of February 10th, after Karroubi and Mousavi both called upon the nation of Iran to participate in peaceful demonstrations in support of the freedom fighting people of Egypt and Tunisia.
The people's enthusiastic presence in the February 14th (25 Bahman) demonstrations angered the ruling government, and the raid of the residences of the two leaders of the Green opposition movement by security forces a few days prior to the demonstrations, eventually turned into detention and house arrest.
