Ali Tehrani

CLERICAL ERROR

As the Iranian people take to the streets against their oppressive regime, one of the elder dissidents slips away. Cleric and theologian Ali Tehrani was the brother-in-law of Ayatollah Khamenei, and a frequent thorn in his side as a staunch critic of the hardliner government. Tehrani was jailed for a decade as a result. Geez, Ayatollah, if your in-laws bother you that much you could just skip Thanksgiving. Iranian state media did not acknowledge his death, aged 96, but for Death Is International all that mattered is he got some UK press.
