Clashes in Iran

The violence and confrontations continue following the death of the Cleric Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri.


One report said tear gas and pepper gas were used against people who were gathering for a Montazeri memorial service planned to take place in a mosque in the city of Isfahan, while another said women and children were among those beaten up.

Some opposition supporters were injured and dozens were arrested, according to reformist websites, whose reports could not be independently verified. There was no immediate comment from the authorities.


This cleric issued a fatwa against the government and his death has continued to fuel the confrontations that started following the elections in June.
