In a startling statement during an interview with the Iran Labor News agency (ILNA) about the house arrests imposed on the Green Movement leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi, Mehdi Karroubi, and Zahra Rahnavard since 2011, Iran’s Minister of Justice Mostafa Pourmohammadi said on December 16, 2014, that “the issue [of the house arrest] has not been pursued inside the administration.” Pourmohammadi told ILNA that neither the government nor the Judiciary can solely pursue a resolution to the issue, and that the ultimate decision maker in this issue is the Supreme Security Council.
