Family of opposition leader barred from entering home, meeting with father
GVF — The sons of 2009 presidential candidate Mahdi Karroubi have been barred from entering their father's home.
According to Saham News, the official website of Karroubi's National Trust Party, security forces deployed outside the Karroubi home have prevented his children from entering their father's house saying that they would not be allowed to enter the house until 14 February when the opposition's plans to hold mass demonstrations in support of the recent Arab uprisings.
The security forces have announced that with the exception of Karroubi's wife Fatemeh, "none of his sons, daughter-in-laws and relatives" have the right to enter the Karroubi home and to meet the outspoken opposition leader.
Saham News adds that Karroubi's house arrest is "most likely" linked with the planned march on 14 February.
