Police Arrest 5 Family Members Of Iran’s Leading Opposition Figure
- Text size
Tehran, Iran (AHN) – Iranian security forces have arrested five family members of one of Iran’s most powerful figures during the protest, state media reported on Sunday.
The daughter of former Iranian President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani was arrested along with four relatives during an anti-government protest in Tehran on late Saturday, according to PressTV, citing a local newspaper.
Among those who were arrested include Faezeh Hashemi, a well-known women’s rights activist, former parliament deputy and head of women sports in Iran.

Like her father, Hashemi has emerged as an important figure in the opposition and has been a critic of Ahmadinejad’s policies.
The four others detained include Faezeh’s daughter, as well as Hossein Mar’ashi’s wife, daughter, and his-sister-in-law. Hossein Mar’ashi is a cousin to Hashemi-Rafsanjani’s wife, according to PressTV.
The news cannot be independently verified as foreign media outlets have been banned from reporting from within the Islamic Republic nation.
The reports said that the Ayatollah Rafsanjani and his family members have been accused of corruption in the past.
But yesterday’s detention followed charges that they were participating in an illegal rally “in [Tehran's] Azadi Avenue and inciting and encouraging rioters,” according to the report.
The protestors supporting reformist presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi went ahead with the plan to rally against the disputed June 12 elections despite warnings from the Iranian authorities.
It was not clear when they were released, but the local reports indicate that they were held at the nearest military base and were detained until the unrest in the capital ended.

What stupid Americans fail to understand is that the current corrupt regime of Iran is anything but friendly to its own people, and rather nothing but an actor on the globalists’ NWO stage . Just check out this video and tell me the people of that country are not as oppressed and fed up with tyranny as are we here in the USSA. http://www.bbc.co.uk/persian/i.....shes.shtml

Fox news is just laughable trying to act considerate by showing a 24 hour live report of Iran. They are basically trying to stir the people against Iran.

A wonderful life awaits you. But sometimes the ripest fruit is at the top of the tree and takes a lot of scrambling and clawing to get to. Yet when you get there and sample the sweetness of your reward what an enriching satisfaction you will experience! The key is to keep your mind on the goal. Never allow others to hold you back or dissuade you. But if they decide to follow give them a hand up. When shared the enjoyment of the fruit will be doubled.
Maintain your vision of a world of peace, joy, and harmony. No matter what happens in the outer world keep that vision in your heart and know that it is attainable. Don’t listen to the prophets of doom. Don’t compromise your integrity simply because others’ mistaken assessments of right and wrong are being accepted. Let your heart tell you what is right for you, and it will lead you to the path of fulfillment.

no one can say but one can predict.
and i can tell you this. the nwo will stage a bio terror plot to enforce martial law.
then later nuke major cities in pretex to contain the infection. then when the world population would have significaly reduced and put into a total choasic situation then the greys from the moon will attack any left over resistance. to dominate one more planet in the universe.
it would not be the first planet they do this to. so they know what they are doing.

“But if they decide to follow give them a hand up. When shared the enjoyment of the fruit will be doubled. ”
Is that like a reach around?

and the worst part of all the meddling usa does in other peoples affairs, is that we elect politicians, who appoint heads of gummint, who in turn order these things to be done, all on the taxpayer dime.
considering the trouble this meddling causes to the american citizens, i think all the above mentioned should be brought up on conspiracy charges. they are after all doing things that will inevitably harm the american people.
i feel the same way about the media driven depression we’re in. conspiracy against the american people.

Life – the way you live on Earth – is about to change most dramatically, and for the better. The insane, confrontationally competitive attitudes that humanity has espoused for so long will fall rapidly away, as you suddenly become aware of their total ineffectiveness. Finally, all will see for the first time that judgment and retribution cause only pain and suffering for everyone and can never satisfy those righteously seeking compensation.
The righteous can never achieve satisfaction because to be righteous is to suffer, as compensation is never enough and the pain remains. Pain and suffering can only be relieved by heartfelt forgiveness, never by forgiveness that is exchanged for damages or an apology. The need to be right is a tremendous obstacle to spiritual growth and personal happiness, and the error of this concept is finally beginning to dawn on humanity.

IRAN! The scourge of the modern world… The model for US Government power! Yes, our own government would LOVE to extend their services to the famlies of dissenters. Lock up entire clans, if that’s what needed to maintain their stranglehold on political power. BOTH major parties and the unelected government officials would do it in a heartbeat if they thought they could get away with it! SO… believe it when I tell you that Obama & his minions are taking really detailed notes on the Iranian situation, so they can duplicate it here when “the time is right”.

As an american, i would rather live in Iran than here considering the amount of FEMA camps they have ready for us. So what is Iran isnt as “far ahead” as other nations, atleast they know when to stand up for themselves and face the NWO head on unlike most of us who dont even know about it.

Thanx for your support.

Talk about religious weirdos as if that’s something new. Truth is, all politics are religious and all religions are political. Everyone’s reality is shaped by religion even if they don’t subscribe to any religion. You can deny that if you like but it is the reality. Religion has shaped the world for as far back as we can trace history. It really makes one wonder what would it take to actually get people to lead themselves? I simply don’t know how to do it myself.

Brothers and Sisters, Truthers, Please help me get out before the crackdown. Just $1, It’s for a good cause, I need to spread the truth and if I get caught up in the crackdown I won’t be able to spread Truth.
I’m offering massive amounts of information, trying to link up with other truthers out there. But I need to raise these funds. My whole honest story is up front, pleading my case to the jury of the world.
I’m asking you. please. Step up and donate just $1 useless u.s dollar. I’m at full mercy.

I want to bring ATTENTION to a group on facebook called ‘Free Iran’ that is smearing any attempt to talk about possible CIA meddling in the country. I encourage people to post on their page that is currently flooded with comments blindly supporting the current movement without any skepticism of foreign meddling. thanks~
