Security forces surrounded Ayatollah Montazeri’s house to prohibit any public gatherings

Iran News Agency: On Ayatollah Montazeri’s 40th day ceremony, security forces surrounded his house in Ghom, to prohibit people from gathering. People who tried to gather or enter the house were questioned and intimidated by the security forces.

A number of female government supporters were also present. It was clear that they were brought to the location from other cities. They were chanting “Death to hypocrites.” [Editor's note: The chants were referring to Ayatollah Montazeri as a hypocrite]

Editor’s note: Shia Muslims commemorate the 40th day after death. January 28 was Ayatollah Montazeri’s 40th day ceremony.
