Iranian reformist leader Mir Hossein Moussavi has called for drafting a new constitution and submitting it to a popular referendum, followed by a “free and fair” vote to change the structure of political power in Iran.
Moussavi, who has been under house arrest since February 2011, said in a statement published by his official website, Kalima, that the “bloody” events in recent months and years in Iran showed that the slogan “implementing the constitution without concessions” - which he raised in the 2009 presidential elections – was no longer viable, stressing the need for fundamental change.
