Hossein Karroubi, the son of Mehdi Karroubi, criticized the Iranian president for not taking any action to lift the house arrest of the leaders who protested the results of the 2009 presidential election. According to the website Kaleme, Hossein Karroubi stated that Hassan Rouhani's government had postponed the lifting of the house arrest of Mir Hossein Mousavi, Zahra Rahnavard, and Mehdi Karroubi until after the nuclear agreement, but no specific news regarding the lifting of the house arrest has been heard so far. Mir Hossein Mousavi, Zahra Rahnavard, and Mehdi Karroubi have been under house arrest since February 2011, and according to the head of the Leader's Inspection Office, the decision regarding them falls within the 'authorities of the high-ranking officials of the system.' Hossein Ghaouimi, in a conversation with Ardeshir Amir Arjamand, a former advisor to Mir Hossein Mousavi who is currently in Paris, initially asked for his assessment of Hassan Rouhani's government in this regard.
