Iran opposition leaders barred from leaving
Conservative lawmaker accusing accuses "sedition leaders" of being "mohareb" - a term meaning that they are "fighting God" - and won't be allowed to leave the country
Tehran: A prominent conservative lawmaker says Iran's opposition leaders are barred from leaving the country.
Mousa Qorbani is quoted by a state-run news agency as accusing "sedition leaders" of being "mohareb" - a term meaning that they are "fighting God" - and won't be allowed to leave the country, referring to former presidential candidates Mir Hussain Moussawi and Mahdi Karroubi, as well as former reformist president Mohammad Khatami.
Qorbani is a member of the Judicial and Legal Committee of the conservative-dominated parliament.
Though no official ban has been announced, Khatami was barred from travelling to Japan in April to attend a conference on dialogue between cultures.
