Key opposition figure Ebrahim Yazdi, who served as foreign minister at the start of the 1979 Islamic revolution, was arrested at his home early on Monday, the Rahesabz website reported.

Yazdi, secretary general of the outlawed but tolerated Iran Freedom Movement, "was arrested at home and taken to an unknown place early Monday morning by security agents," the website said.

"He was summoned to an intelligence ministry office (last) Monday but did not go," it added, without elaborating.
