The website of Mir Hossein Mousavi on Friday denied state media reports that the Iranian opposition leader had fled the capital Tehran for the northern province of Mazandaran. Mir Hossein Mousavi is at his own home in one of the side-alleys of Pasteur Avenue (in south Tehran) like before and has not left Tehran at all in the past few days, his Kaleme.org website said. Despite the very recent arrest of his senior advisers... Mir Hossein Mousavi is seriously following up political developments and news, it added. On Thursday, Iran's official IRNA news agency reiterated its report that Mousavi had fled the capital in the face of the government's crackdown on his supporters.
