February 28th 2011 - In a short conversation with Kaleme, the children of Mousavi and Rahnavard strongly rejected the report by the state owned news agency Fars News, denying the arrest of their parents.
Mousavi's daughters told Kaleme: "Given what we have witnessed in the past few days and weeks, we are certain that our parents are no longer at their residence. The only way we can deny the arrest of our parents is if are given the opportunity to meet with them." Mir Hossein Mousavi and Zahra Rahnavard's daughters reiterated: "We the children of Dr. Zahra Rahnavard and Mir Hossein Mousavi strongly reject hasty reports by a number of state owned news agencies denying the arrest and transfer of our parents to Heshmatiyeh prison."
Mousavi and Rahnavard's daughters added: "We will only be in a position to deny the arrest and incarceration of our parents if we are able to visit with them and they are immediately returned to their home without threats and without the presence of security forces and in the same physical and mental condition as prior to their disappearance."
Mousavi's daughters added: "Despite voicing our concerns on numerous occasions, in the past two weeks we have been kept in the dark regarding the well being of our parents and their associate Mehdi Karroubi and his honorable wife. We have faced nothing but a mysterious silence and contradictory statements from government authorities.
Mousavi's daughters believe that the contradictory statements by security forces is an attempt by the ruling government to gradually reduce the people's sensitivity to the news of their parents' arrest. They emphasized that spreading rumors in state owned media outlets is counter productive and insisted that the authorities of the Islamic Republic provide an official response to the whereabouts and well being of their parents and their request to meet with them immediately.
