Iran judiciary denies arrest of opposition leaders
Iranian opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi and their wives have been arrested and put in a Tehran jail, their websites said Monday in reports, AFP said.
An Iranian judiciary official quickly denied the report, the Fars news agency said.
"A judiciary source has denied the arrest of the chiefs of sedition Mousavi and Karroubi," Fars said, adding that the pair were at home and not in prison.
"They are currently in their homes and are faced only with restrictions to contact suspect elements," Fars said.
