On Saturday 30 November, members of the International Organization to Preserve Human Rights in Iran held a manifestation in support of opposition figures Mir Hossein Moussavi, his wife Zahra Rahnavard and Mehdi Karroubi in the crowded streets of Stuttgart, Germany.
Moussavi, Karroubi and Rahnavard have been under house arrest for more than 1,000 days with no charges against them.
The Green Movement leaders challenged the legitimacy of the 2009 elections and were put under house arrest on February 14, 2011.
