Mousavi and his wife had an active role in the success of the Revolution. He was imprisoned for organizing street protests against the monarchy of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. As the Revolution neared, Mousavi, whose earliest political hero was Che Guevara, became more actively involved in the struggle.
