Iran’s top Sunni cleric, Mowlavi Abdolhamid, on Tuesday condemned the violent killing of protesters in cities across the country, warning that those who gave such orders would be held accountable.
“The massacre of thousands of protesters in Tehran and other cities of our country over a few days was a horrific and unprecedented catastrophe. This bitter event has plunged the Iranian nation into grief and rage, and has deeply wounded the conscience of free people around the world,” he posted on X.
“Undoubtedly, those who ordered and carried out this crime will be held accountable in this world, and in the hereafter they will also deserve divine punishment,” Abdolhamid added.
