NCRI – A Sunni cleric was shot and killed by gunmen on Friday outside his home in the Kermanshah province in western Iran.
Cleric Mohammad Ali Moradi was returning from a religious class which he was lecturing.
Prior to this another Sunni cleric was target of an assassination in the Kurdistan province of Iran.
The killing of the Sunni cleric in Kermanshah province follows a wave of arrests and the summoning of Sunni activists in the cities of Bookan, Saqez and Sanandaj.
The Iranian regime’s State Security Forces raided Hossein Ebrahimi’s house in the city of Bookan. They beat and arrested Mr. Ebrahimi and confiscated his personal belongings. There is no news on his whereabouts.
In the cities of Saqez and Sanandaj, the security forces summoned a number of Sunnis. The authorities warned Mohammad Abbasi, a resident of Saqez, and Jalal Khosravi and Fawad Mardakh of Sannandaj, against their online activities.
Meanwhile, a Sunni cleric said on Friday that the Iranian regime had prevented Sunni Cleric Molana Abdulmajid from leaving Iran to attend a conference in the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
Molana Abdulmajid had been invited to Saudi Arabia to attend a counterterrorism conference organized by the Mecca-based Muslim World League.
The cleric said in a sermon on Friday that it is disappointing to us that Molana Abdulmajid has not been allowed to attend the conference.
