Green Movement leader Mir-Hossain Musavi was rushed to the hospital , underwent an emergency heart procedure, and then was sent back to home confinement the next day.
One of Musavi’s daughters, Zahra, said her father fell ill Friday, April 25. But security officers, overseeing him and his wife under house arrest, refused to allow him to go to a hospital until four days later, when his conditioned worsen.
Zahra told Kaleme, the website of the Green Movement, “In the hospital, they gave him a stress test, but he was unable to perform it. The doctors then decided that he had to undergo an angioplasty and eventually it was done without the family being present [in the hospital].”
Musavi and his wife, Zahra Rahnavard, have been confined to their home since February 2011. Their daughter said, “They have been hostages during this time. We [children] remained silent so that we could visit them once in awhile. [The state] wanted us to enter their cage and witness the decline and gradual death of our mother and father, and yet they wanted us to remain silent.”
