Iran forces 'raid' office of opposition leader Mousavi
BBC ^

Iranian security forces have raided the office of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi, his website has reported.

Agents entered the premises late on Wednesday and took away computers and some of his belongings, it said.

The statement described the attack as a "new phase of restrictions". The Iranian government has not commented.

Mr Mousavi lost last year's presidential election to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a vote that he and other opposition figures say was rigged.

"With the attack by plainclothes security agents on the office of Mr Mousavi, it seems that another phase of restrictions has started," the statement on Kaleme.com said.

Correspondents say the move is part of growing pressure on opposition figures in the past two weeks.

Earlier this month, Kaleme reported that members of a militia linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guards had attacked the home of another opposition leader, Mehdi Karroubi, before the annual Quds Day rally in support of the Palestinians.

Ahmawhackjob will be in NYC in a few days to strut and posture at the UN

Why we have to allow scumbags like him to set foot on our shores while they are destroying dissidents at home is one the great embarrassments of the UN’s history and US support for that club of dictators, charlatans, socialists, and jihadists

Is Iran's "annexing" of Southern Lebanon (vis-a-via) Hezbolla just like the Sudentenland ?

Does ANYONE in Washington DC see "WHAT THE HELL" is going on ???
