R.I.P. Grand Ayatollah Hoseyn Ali Montazeri. Hopefully his dream of a free Iran will be fulfilled in the near future.
Crowds of mourners are gathering in the Iranian city of Qom following the death of leading reformist cleric Grand Ayatollah Hoseyn Ali Montazeri at 87.
Some pro-reform websites say thousands of people are travelling to the city ahead of Monday's funeral.
Other unverified reports say opposition supporters are also gathering in some squares in Tehran, fuelling government concern of increased political tension...
...Montazeri, one of Shia Islam's most respected figures and a leading critic of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, himself said in August that the turmoil following the election "could lead to the fall of the regime".
He said Iran's clerical leadership was a dictatorship and issued a fatwa condemning the government after the election.
