Following the report by Kaleme regarding the latest status of detained opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi and his wife Zahra Rahnavard, one of Mousavi’s daughters was contacted by a security official who threatened her, informing her that her visitation rights have been revoked for the time being.
The prison guards supervising the illegal house arrest of Mousavi and Rahnavard had informed their daughters that they would be granted a visitation with their parents on Tuesday this week. Yesterday afternoon, shortly before the agreed upon visitation time, a security official contacted one of Mousavi’s daughters, threatened her for having provided information to Kaleme and in addition to warning her, informed Mousavi’s daughter that for the time being she would not be allowed to visit with her parents. Mousavi’s daughter was also told that she will be prosecuted.
The tone of the security official in question who called Mousavi’s daughter was reportedly very harsh. Mousavi’s daughter was yelled at, insulted and threatened that if the family continues to provide any information to media outlets the conditions for the family and the opposition leader and his wife will become harsher and more restricted. The security official then informed Mousavi’s daughter that her visitation rights had been revoked, claiming that the published reports were nothing more than lies and as a result her actions were prosecutable. The security official also claimed that they have informed the higher powers within the regime that the family is lying. Despite such a claim, the security official in question did not identify the supposed “higher power(s)” by name, nor was an explanation provided as to whether those in power are even aware of what has happened to Mir Hossein, his wife and family.
Following the threatening telephone call, as previously agreed upon, Mousavi’s other two daughters went to the prison on Akhtar street in order to meet with their parents. Upon their arrival, the daughters faced a larger number of security officers than had been customary in past visits and prior to opening the gates, the security guards made certain that Mousavi’s third daughter was not amongst those visiting.
According to Mousavi’s daughters, during their visit, one of the security officers provided them with a print out of the recent news published by Kaleme describing the latest condition of the opposition leader and his wife, repeating the earlier threats and warning the family about any further contact with media outlets. The daughters then explained the earlier events in which their sister had been threatened by phone and informed that her visitation rights had been revoked as a result of publishing lies.
While emphasizing that the content of the brief news published was accurate and correct, Mir Hossein Mousavi reminded those present of the manner in which he and his family have been treated since his house arrest, describing his daughters’ concern for their health and well-being and their desire to inform the public of this illegal house arrest as a “natural-legal right”. Mousavi reiterated the need for his three daughters to continue to inform the public regarding his heath and the health and well-being of their mother Zahra Rahnavard.
