Breaking, from Mousavi’s Facebook page:

URGENT: Ali Reza Beheshti, Mousavi’s top advisor, has been arrested!
Beheshti was son of martyred Ayatollah Beheshti and Mousavi’s top advisor and his representative in the special committee investigating prisoners’ abuse cases. Morteza Alviri, Karou…bi’s representative in the special committee was also arrests earlier.

According to the blog Enduring America (not one to sensationalize):

The only step up from this action is the arrest of leaders such as Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi.
