Censorship of the Arts Narrative: is Mir Husayn Musavi
The man I am reporting about today
is Mir Husayn Musavi. Mir Husayn Musavi was born on March 2, 1942 in Khameneh,
East Azarbaijan, Iran. During his university life, he was a member of the
Islamic association of students. In 1969, Mousavi had married Zahra Rahnavard,
a woman who attended the same university and had beliefs similar to himself.
Mousavi and his wife played a huge role during the Iranian revolution. On June
12, 2009, Mousavi was a candidate for the election for presidency in Iran. The
final voting results showed that Ahmadinejad, an opposing candidate, won by a
huge difference. This caused Mousavi and many others Iranian Citizens to arouse
suspicion upon the results. They believed that the voting results may have been
manipulated and faked. Some citizens concluded that Sadegh Mahsouli a leader
messed up election and fakes the votes to keep the Ahmadinejad family name in
the throne. Mousavi confirmed this, and called for his group of people to
understand the election was unlegitimate. as an after effect, large protests
started occuring for the truth of the election. The movement started was called
the Green Movement. Green Movement is the protests about rigged Iranian
election that many Musavi followers were angry about. The symbol green was
Musavi's favorite color because it represented unity and belief for the followers.
Today, Mousavi and his followers and other leaders with similar beliefs are
coming up with new peaceful assertive ways to spread belief. Also, they have
set up a new group, they renamed their new group The Green Path of Hope.
Mousavi has chosen to choose the path in which they do not follow the
government belief so that is what it was renamed with the word path in his
name.
