Iran's grand ayatollahs say Imam Khomeini’s family must be respected
TEHRAN, June 14 (MNA) -- Grand ayatollahs Ali Safi Golpayegani and Abdollah Javadi Amoli have expressed deep regret over the recent disrespect to Hassan Khomeini, the grandson of Imam Khomeini, and urged all groups and individuals to respect the great Imam’s household.
“Unfortunately, when we need unity, empathy, and integrity… some people do unethical and ill-advised things, which undermine unity,” Grand Ayatollah Safi Golpayegani said in Qom on Sunday.
He also advised media outlets, especially the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, to respect the Imam’s family and to try to raise people’s hope in the Islamic system.
Grand Ayatollah Javadi Amoli strongly criticized the disrespectful action, saying it was unjust treatment of the Imam and the Imam’s family.
On June 4, a number of hecklers prevented Hassan Khomeini from speaking at Imam Khomeini’s mausoleum during the ceremony marking the 21st anniversary of his grandfather’s demise and he was forced to abandon his address.
The move provoked widespread outrage and many clerics and political figures censured those who disrespected the grandson of the Founder of the Islamic Republic.
