Conflicting reports on fate of Iranian opposition leaders

Another Iranian source gave a similar account, saying the report of the men's imprisonment was false.
Meanwhile, a Tehran resident said people in his neighborhood were chanting from inside their homes "God is great," a phrase used by the opposition movement after the disputed presidential elections in 2009.
The conflicting reports came shortly after the semiofficial news Fars News Agency reported that the government had restricted the movements and communication of both opposition leaders.
Referring to the opposition movement, Iranian Prosecutor General Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei said, "The movements and telephone communication of the head of rioters have been restricted and, if circumstances demand it, the next steps for arresting them and putting them on trial will be arranged," Fars reported.
