Answer

After the 2009 Iranian presidential election, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the winner, although Mousavi and his supporters claimed widespread voter fraud. Mousavi became the leader of the Green Movement, a protest movement that called for Ahmadinejad's resignation and a new election. The movement was brutally suppressed by the Iranian government, and Mousavi was placed under house arrest.
