Montazeri Speaks About Nuclear Weapons

Responding to a question by his pupil Mohsen Kadivar about nuclear weapons, Montazeri denounces them. This according to Mousavi's Facebook,

"Grand Ayatollah Montazeri’s answer to the question by Mohsen Kadivar regarding the use of nuclear weapons: Weapons if are not only used against the invading forces but rather victimise innocent people, even the future generations, logically and relig...iously are not allowed and given the vast extent of killing and destruction by nuclear weapons they cannot be considered acceptable by the reasoning of the importance or criticality of another issue and in all cases the humanity and especially Muslims who are the followers of the teachings of the great Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) should be pioneers on the path to legally and practically ban such weapons for all countries with the assurance from the credible and trustworthy international organisations."
