"The killings and arrests are a catastrophe, people will not forgive those behind such crimes," Mousavi said, adding: "I am sure the judiciary is not informed about many arrests."

"The country of 70 million cannot become a prison for all of them. The more they arrest people, the bigger this movement becomes."]]></description>
