Secret trial began of children of Ayatollah Seyed Mohammad Shirazi

The secret trial of the children of Ayatollah Seyed Mohammad Shirazi, Morteza and Mehdi,has begun in the Special Clerical court, reports from Iran say. The two sons were arrested a month ago and will most probably be sentenced to death.

Agents of the regime's Intelligence Ministry arrested Seyed Mehdi Shirazi, 21, some one month ago on Qom's express way as he was going to Tehran to visit his mother who was hospitalized at the time.

It is said that the arrest of Seyed Mehdi and the prosecution of he and his brother are because of their father's opposition to the Marja'iat (supreme leadership) of Khamenei.
