 Unpublished statements by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after the events surrounding the 2009 election have been made public in a new book, ISNA reported on Saturday.

Following the 2009 presidential elections, which resulted in incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad winning re-election with 62% of the votes cast, candidates Mehdi Karroubi and Mir Hossein Mousavi rejected the results, claiming the elections were rigged.

Karroubi, Mousavi and his wife, Zahra Rahnavard, were then placed under house arrest for insisting on their claims and calling for protests.
