Mir Hossein Mousavi could be arrested.

Dozens of Iranian Government agents on motorbikes have surrounded the Tehran office of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi and the country’s chief prosecutor is threatening to arrest him, The Times reports.

The moves come just one day after tens of thousands of students across the country staged the latest in a long series of demonstrations against the Government the so-called “Green” movement regards as illegitimate.

Mousavi is the former Prime Minister who was defeated by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in an allegedly fraudulent election in June. This morning 30 to 40 plain-clothed motorcyclists, almost certainly members of the hardline Basij militia, surrounded the Academy of Fine Arts in Tehran where Mousavi works. They blocked the entrances and shouted insults at him. Iran’s chief prosecutor told journalists that he could be charged and hauled before a court.
