Grand Ayatollahs Montazeri and Saanei, strongly condemned last night’s (Oct 22, 2009) raid on the families of political prisoners, who had gathered in a religious ceremony in the residence of Shahabbedin Tabatabai (a detained member of the Participation Front) to pray for his release, and the arrest of 30 members of these political prisoners’ families. Grand Ayatollah Montazeri after learning about this pathetic act by coup forces expressed deep sorrow and regret that in the Islamic Republic authorities are now raiding the religious ceremonies! He also reinstated that the original slogan of the revolution which is “Islamic Republic” has been ignored by the rulers and added that the most important slogan of the revolution, which is “Independence, Freedom, and Islamic Republic”, has been ignored and that the meaning of “Republic” in an Islamic government which is basically the same as people’s authority [and democracy], has been ignored and people’s right to be free is being violated. Also, Grand Ayatollah Saanei by strongly condemning this act, advised the families of the political prisoner to be patient and strong, as well as to be more resistance and to spread the information. He also by pointing out the raid on a religious ceremony said that when the families of political prisoners and innocent people are being attacked in a religious ceremony, it shows the weakness of the authorities, meaning that they cannot even tolerate a religious ceremony!
