Iran's former president reacts to arrest of his two children

Iran's former president, and Expediency Council chairman Ali Hashemi Rafsanjani expressed his reaction to the latest arrests of his two children, Fars reported.

Yesterday, Rafsanjani's son Mehdi Hashemi has been arrested on charges of propaganda against the state and corruption.

His sister, Faezeh Hashemi, was taken into custody Saturday after returning from a visit to London.

She had been sentenced in January to a six month jail term on similar propaganda charges, but was not immediately jailed due to the intervention of her father.

Ali Hashemi Rafsanjani noted that his children should not be treated with discrimination.

He added that he is not much worried about this problem, since he's used to such crisis situations.
