Iranian opposition leader MirHosein Mousavi was taken to the hospital on Thursday for “serious heart complications”, reports from Iran indicate.
Neday-e Sabz Azadi, an opposition website reported that Mousavi who has been under 
house arrest since February of 2011 with his wife Zahra Rahnavard, had to undergo a three hour angiography and is currently under observation in the CCU.
Security officers had reportedly been deployed in the hospital building a night before the arrival of the ailing opposition leader and the hospital staff involved in providing for his care was not allowed to leave the hospital until now.
Mousavi is announced to be faring well after the treatment but he cannot be visited by anyone. His wife, Zahra Rahnavard is reportedly with him at the hospital.
MirHosein Mousavi and Zahra Rahnavard as well as Mehdi Karroubi, another Iranian opposition leader have been under house arrest since February 2011 because they refused to acknowledge the legitimacy of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s victory in the 2009 elections.
Widespread protests were triggered with allegations vote fraud in the presidential elections which many claim was in fact won by MirHosein Mousavi.
Although the Islamic Republic establishment keeps referring to the opposition leaders as head of sedition, Mousavi, Rahnavard, and the other presidential candidate Mehdi Karroubi have been held under house arrest without any official charges being brought against them.
