AntiMullah broke this story worldwide and translated relevant points into English.Ayatollah Boroujerdi and the late-Ayatollah Montazeri, both were anti-Khomeini clerics.
Grand Ayatollah Montazeri was ousted from succeeding Khomeini for this reason and Boroujerdi has suffered unspeakable hardships where starvation and witholding of his vital medications have beconme an ongoing effort to hasten his death. (Ayatollahs cannot be formally executed but if they happen to die......!).
Also read other archives to refresh your mind of some other details.

Thanks FARS.
Of course they all wanted Democracy in Iran ... After all, nobody heard people shouting: “We Want Democracy ... Death to the Shah” ..
Although, plenty heard: “Allah_o_Akbar.. Death to the Shah” ..
No doubt & thanks to the Mullahs in Iran & Co., who brainwashed people over the decades/centuries, in the first place.
I suspect Montazeri & so be it Boroujerdi will eventually have a massive party in some place with Khomeini et al, even by default.
Thanks FARS.

KHAMENEI’S SECRET LIFE (in case you missed it)
http://noiri.blogspot.com/2010/01/full-english-version-of-khameneis.html
>>”Grand Ayatollah Montazeri was ousted from succeeding Khomeini for this reason”<<<
As you know, Montazeri studied under Khomeini for years before Khomeini took power in Iran in 1979 with the help of Montazeri.
Montazeri wasn’t ousted during at least first 6 yrs after Khomeini took power. Montazeri actually supported Khomeinist regime until he was so-called ‘ousted’ a couple of yrs before Khomeini died, and was put under ‘house arrest’ .. wow! how sad ... Montazeri was ousted because it was all a political struggle between the two factions of the same ISLAMIC REGIME.
These are facts, and you know it. Whether you want to spin it that way or not that is you choice.
As for Boroujerdi, too bad. I hope he is released, but he should know his kind & his religion/sect.
My memory is very refreshed. Perhaps we should refresh our collective memory about those innumerable Iranians, who have died, precisely, because some rather remember & justify the actions of some idiot such as Montazeri or even Boroujerdi over others.
Am truly sorry FARS, but I expected something more impartial & accurate from you, not the usual mainstream pro (reformist) IRI spin.
Thanks for the ping!
