Will Mehdi Karroubi get apprehended today?

He said many true thinks about the regime, and people like Amadinejad don’t likes that the truth is spelled out. Especially not to journalists. You just have take a short look what the Washington Post writes:

The white-turbaned Shiite cleric, who has held several senior government positions since the 1979 Islamic revolution, said in an interview Tuesday that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, along with the clerics and Revolutionary Guard commanders who support him, will be defeated by what he describes as a burgeoning movement of ordinary people, ayatollahs and lawmakers.

“In the streets, in the bazaars, at weddings and in mosques, everywhere you can hear people complaining about what has happened” since Ahmadinejad’s disputed reelection June 12, Karroubi said. “This belief is growing at an extraordinary pace. Yes, people might be more cautious, since the situation in our country is dangerous, but their thoughts, their ideas have not changed.” 

And about the trials he said:

“The court has a special purpose. It is organized by the winners of the vote, and only their opponents have been put on trial,” the 72-year-old cleric said. “But people will never believe these wide-ranging accusations of murders, bombings and espionage against more than 100 suspects.”

We will see, many of my friends are quite nervous, and if that really should happen, it will give a spontaneous Demonstration this eve. In Berlin we will meet at the Breitscheidplatz about 60-90 minutes after we got the apprehension message.
