Iranian security forces have arrested a son of opposition leader Mehdi Karoubi, his website reported on Tuesday, one week after his supporters took to the streets in their first demonstrations in more than a year.

"Last night security forces entered the house of Ali Karoubi and arrested him and his wife, Nafiseh Panahi" Sahamnews website said. Panahi was later released but there was no further news of Ali Karoubi, it said.

Sahamnews said there were concerns for Mehdi Karoubi himself after security forces raided his house on Monday night and confiscated documents and books.

"After last night's incident and despite many efforts there is no news of the fate of (Mehdi) Karoubi and his wife," the website said. Mehdi Karoubi has been under virtual house arrest for more than a week after calling for supporters of his reformist Green movement to hold a rally on February 14, the first event of its kind since December 2009.

You know, I don’t look at it as an improvement to replace one Islamic supremacist thugh with another Islamic supremacist thug.

May they implode on eachother and destroy one another utterly.

It is sometimes more useful to take control of those loved by those you hate, than those you hate them self. This demonstrates your control/power, and scares the $hit out of everyone else with a loved one.

It is also an indicator of desperation, fear, and a base form of instinct.

Thanks.

Glad I’m not the only one who feels that way.

All of the leadership in Iran, opposition or ruling, are Islamic supremacists, as far as I can tell.
