I think the title says it all. Iran's most senior dissident cleric has died. Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri was considered the spiritual father of the country's reform movement.
It becomes more interesting to know that Velayat Faghieh (leader ship of Shia clergy during absence of last holly figure of Shia Islam: Mahdi) was his creation along with Khomeini. However, he was considered to be succeed supreme leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, the late founder of Iran's Islamic Republic in 1979. but that did not happen and he became dissident of Khomeini by opposing him to mass killing of those who were in prison of Islamic Republic as dissident and many other ruling that establishment was issuing.
After the recent green movement in Iran, he became spiritual leader of green movement by sending continues messages against the establishment. I think I should say again RIP.
life is so precious and it seems death is right around the corner. this may be reminder to all and me!
