Iranian reformist cleric, Ayatollah Sanei condemned the government’s attempt to intimidate followers of reformist Shiite leaders within the clergy.
He declared: “We should never get to a stage where religion becomes a tool for protecting power. What does it mean to pressure people for the members of the clergy they choose to appeal to or the mosques they choose to pray at?”
In a meeting with a group of students and academics, Ayatollah Sanei warned that “these people are trying to exert their power over people’s minds and thoughts,” and warned that they are even trying to “omit” a number of Ayatollah Khomeini’s principles.
