Mir-Hossein Mousavi (above)A cartoon lampooning the leader of the Iranian Green Movement, Mir-Hossein Mousavi, by exiled Iranian cartoonist Nikahang Kowsar, has been deleted by the reformist website Rooz, spotlighting division within the Green Movement.
The irony is that Kowsar, who was jailed in Iran several years ago for a cartoon that poked fun at a hard-line cleric, has now drawn a cartoon which can be utilized by the hard-liners.
