Cartoon 105: Ahmad Jannati on the House Arrests

On January 24, 2015, hardliner cleric and member of the Guardian Council, Ahmad Jannati, reacted to conservative Member of the Parliament Ali Motahari’s interrupted speech at the Iranian Parliament, in which he asked for an end to the state of house arrest of Green Movement leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and his wife, Zahra Rahnavard, and Mehdi Karroubi. “If four jerks start talking about this, does it mean that they represent the opinions of 75 million Iranians in this issue?” said Jannati, adding that those who talk about the issue, “must be slapped in the mouth.” By Touka Neyestani.
