Iranian judiciary spokesman Gholam Hossein Mohseni-Ejei has not revaled a lot of information regarding Iranian opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi, whose health has deteriorated, ILNA reported.

About a week ago, Mousavi, who is still under home arrest, was taken to hospital on Thursday for treatment for a heart problem, one of his former senior advisors said, Reuters reported.

Mousavi and fellow reformist Mehdi Karoubi ran for election against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in June 2009 and became figureheads for the large protests that followed by Iranians who accused authorities of rigging the vote to bring back the hardline incumbent.

The government denied any vote wrong-doing and said Iran's foreign enemies had plotted to overthrow the country's leaders by stirring up the protests, the biggest opposition demonstrations since the 1979 revolution.

"Mousavi was taken to the hospital this morning after his blood vessels became blocked," said Ardeshir Amir Arjomand, a senior advisor to Mousavi during his presidential campaign and leading exiled opposition figure.

Speaking to the journalists, Mohseni-Ejei only said that Mousavi is in a good mood.

He did not add anything else, despite questions of the journalists on which organization should they contact regarding Mousavi.
