‘News Of A Kidnapping’ A Hit In Iran After Opposition Leader’s Recommendation
"If you want to understand my situation, read Gabriel Garcia Marquez's 'News of a Kidnapping,'" Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Musavi was quoted as having said in a recent meeting with his daughters. Musavi, who together with his wife, Zahra Rahnavard, has been under house arrest for more than six months, reportedly made the comments some three weeks ago. Opposition websites posted an account of the meeting and Musavi's comments last week.

March 3rd, 2011 - 18 days have passed since the disappearance of Mir Hossein Mousavi, and his wife and companion, Zahra Rahnavard. The state-run media outlets have continued to publish lies regarding whether or not they have been arrested, including misstating that the families of Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi and their immediate relatives are allowed to visit with them. Although these same media outlets insist that the only restriction imposed upon the leaders of the Green movement is "limited contact with the outside world", Mousavi's daughters had attempted to visit with him last night and was once again fruitless.

Mousavi and Karroubi on the Revolution: Living is Not Only Staying Alive
We are on the eve of the 32th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, a revolution that was a glorious reflection of people determining their own density. Understanding and recognizing this great and significant historic event is very important for each and every one of Iranians: maybe because understating the historical identity of any nation is influential in determining the future path of that nation, maybe because these days [people] ask themselves how correct was the path that was taken [in the past], or maybe because today more than any other time we are witnessing the efforts determined to distort this history.
