                                 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.
