    Biography

    Mir-Hossein Mousavi Khameneh is an Iranian reformist politician, opposition of Ali Khamenei the Supreme Leader of Iran, artist and architect who served as the 49th and last Prime Minister of Iran from 1981 to 1989. He was a reformist candidate for the 2009 presidential election and eventually the leader of the opposition in the post-election unrest. Mousavi served as the president of the Iranian Academy of Arts until 2009, when Conservative authorities removed him. Although Mousavi had always considered himself a reformist (and not an opposition) and believed in reforming the Islamic Regime within the 1979 Revolution constitution, on 3 Feb 2023 in a big change of opinion and after 4 months of violent suppression of Iranian People by Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, he announced that "he no longer supports the current Islamic Republic constitution", and asked for a widespread referendum to fully change the constitution and make a fundamental change in Iran's political system.
