Former Iranian president Khatami banned from leaving Iran

Former Iranian President Khatami

Former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami, a leading reformer, has been banned from travelling abroad, the semi-official Fars News Agency reported on Tuesday.

Mr. Khatami supported opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi in the Islamic Republic’s disputed presidential election last June, which plunged the major oil producer into deep turmoil.

Fars cited an unnamed intelligence official as saying Mr. Khatami, who was president in 1997-2005, had intended to leave Iran, without giving details.

“Mohammad Khatami was barred from leaving the country,” Fars said.
