According to the media, a preacher was attacked and fatally injured in Iran. Accordingly, unknown persons set him and his house near the protest stronghold of Sanandaj on fire.
In Iran, according to media reports, unknown persons doused a preacher with petrol and set it on fire. The house of the Sunni cleric in the northwest of the country was also set on fire, the Tasnim news agency reported on Monday evening. The preacher from a rural region in Kurdistan near the provincial capital Sanandaj succumbed to his serious injuries. More details were not initially known.
The province of Kurdistan in north-west Iran has been a stronghold of protests since nationwide demonstrations broke out in September. With the beginning of the mass protests, the Islamic Republic of Iran plunged into a serious political crisis. The trigger was the death of the Iranian Kurd Jina Mahsa Amini in police custody. She had been arrested by the so-called vice police for violating Islamic dress codes.
Iran protest leaders arrested
Meanwhile, an adviser to the critical and influential Sunni cleric Maulawi Abdulhamid has been arrested in the south-east of the country, according to a report by Tasnim. The protest leader is a thorn in Tehran’s side. Abdulhamid has repeatedly expressed his solidarity with the protest movement and condemned the execution of demonstrators, for example. Sunnis are a religious minority in Shia-majority Iran.
