Brother of student killed in Tehran riots arrested

A brother of Kurdish student Sane Jaleh, who died as a result of rallies held in Tehran on Feb.14 in support of the peoples of Egypt and Tunisia, Gane Jaleh, was arrested, the opposition website rahesabz.net reported.

Gane Jaleh was arrested due to the fact that in his interview to the 'Voice of America' he said that Sane was not a member of the Basij group, but a member of the Green movement.

Opposition Leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi called on the Iranian people to speak in support of the revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia. During the rally held on Feb.14, two people died from bullet wounds.

The Iranian news agency Irna reported that a student of the Tehran University of Arts, Sane Jaleh was killed by People Mojaheed Organization. Jaleh was a member of the Basij and ardent supporter of Ahmadinejad.
However, the opposition website kaleme.com demonstrated Jaleh's photos taken during the campaign of Mousavi, and next to opposition representative Ayatollah Montazeri.

The Iranian authorities have decided to bury Jale in front of the Tehran University of Arts. Kaleme.com reported that now hundreds of members of the Basij gathered at the university and a clash occurred between them and students.

Mohammad Mokhtari also was killed during the demonstrations on Feb.14.
