Cartoon 66: The Bite of Injustice

The daughters of dissidents Mir Hossein Mousavi and Zahra Rahnavard, who have been under extrajudicial house arrest since February 2013, visited their parents for Eid al-Ghadeer on October 23. As they were leaving, security guards attacked them and demanded that they strip naked, Nargess Mousavi wrote on Facebook. “As I was trying to grab her hand to keep her from attacking us any further, she stopped acting like a human being and bit my entire wrist like a wild animal,” she wrote.

Mehdi Karroubi, Mir Hossein Mousavi, and Zahra Rahnavard are political critics who have been under extrajudicial house arrest since February 14, 2011, without being informed of their charges.
