Mir Hossein Mousavi announced a new grass-roots political front yesterday, reports the Los Angeles Times, an ill-defined move aimed at resurrecting the Iranian opposition leader's anti-government movement and perhaps staving off his own arrest. The loose-knit Green Path of Hope movement isn't an official political party, and critics say the group is doomed, having little to agree on beyond common enemy Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
"Numerous volunteer and independent social networks throughout the society form the body of this movement," said Mousavi. "The Green Path of Hope is in fact aimed at regaining people's denied rights."
