Special Report: Iran presidential election 09 |
Four family members of Iran's influential former President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani have been released from custody. But Iran's state-run Press TV reported on Sunday that his daughter is still being held.
Rafsanjani's daughter Faezeh Rafsanjani and his four other family members had been arrested on Saturday night on charges of provoking riots.
They were detained after authorities claimed they took part in unauthorized protests in central Tehran after the June 12th presidential election.
State television has shown pictures of Faezeh Rafsanjani attending a rally and speaking to opposition supporters last week.
