Rahnavard said Thursday July 23 2009 that her brother is among the hundreds arrested in Iran's postelection crackdown, and she warned authorities not to publish any 'forced confessions' from him or other detainees. More than 500 people remain imprisoned after the heavy crackdown against protests that erupted in support of Mousavi after the disputed June 12 election. Among them are many top politicians from pro-reform political parties, human rights lawyers, journalists and activists.

Khatami has called for a nationwide referendum on the legitimacy of the government, saying Iranians have lost faith in their political leaders after last month's disputed election, according to reports posted Monday July 20, 20009, on several reformist Web sites. Khatami's allies Ayatollah Mousavi Khoeiniha, left, and Ayatollah Bojnourdi, attend the meeting.
