Via Reuters: Rafsanjani daughter released: Iranian state TV
A daughter of former Iranian president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a rival of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has been released from detention, state television said on Monday.Iran’s English-language Press TV had reported that Faezeh Rafsanjani and four other relatives of the former president were detained during an unauthorized protest in Tehran on Saturday. The four other relatives were freed earlier.
I am not surprised that these people have been released. One suspects that their arrests were intended as a warning to Rafsanjani and so a brief detention was sufficient for the moment at least.
