DAMASCUS, Syria: Hauzaat Ilmiyah in the holy cities of Najaf, Karbala and Syria, and scholars, clerics, organizations and associations from Iraq, India, Pakistan, Britain, Afghanistan, United States, Holland, Lebanon, Kuwait and Spain have strongly condemned brutal act of Iran security authorities carried out at the Qom holy shrine against female family members of late grand Marjay Ayatullah Sayyed Muhammad Al-Husseini Ash-Shirazi.

On Rajab 3 night that marks the martyrdom anniversary of Al-Imam Ali Naqii Al-Hadi (a.s.), the Iranian security men stormed into the holy shrine of Sayyedeh Fatemeh Al-Masoumeh (a.s.) in the holy city of Qom, tortured women and children, baton charged them leaving many injured and arrested them.

It is worth noting that Iran security agencies remained ousting men from Hauzah Ilmiyah Qom who follow late Grand Marjay Ash-Shirazi owing to his difference with Welayah Al-Faqih system. The late Grand Marjay spent 25 years in house arrest until he died three years back.
