According to Sahamn News, the official website of Karroubi's
National Trust Party, on Monday between 1-2am local time, state-sponsored
hooligans gathered outside the home of the former parliament speaker and chanted
"Seyed Ali mirazmad, Karroubi milarzad" ("Seyed Ali [Khamenei] fights, Karroubi
shivers"). Khamenei's goons also smashed the windows of Karroubi's home and
threw sound grenades into the complex.
Saham News also reports that police forces were not present at the scene and
Intelligence Ministry's agents charged with maintaining Karroubi under house
arrest had temporarily left the scene for the state-thugs to cause maximum
terror and havoc in the neighbourhood, causing Mr Karroubi's shocked neighbours
to came out onto the street to witness what had happened. Khamenei's supporters
then started threatening and insulting the neighbours.

An eyewitness told Saham News that when one of the women at the scene attempted
to take pictures of the assailants, she was beaten up and the pro-government
forces tried to take her away but were unable to do so after the intervention of
locals.
In the end, the thugs stated very clearly that they were carrying out the orders
of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and were awaiting his orders to decapitate
and hang the Green Movement leader and his wife Fatemeh Karroubi.
For thirteen days now, Mahdi Karroubi and his wife have been under full house
arrest and there is currently no news about the couple's well-being following
last night's attacks.
