After Ayatollah Montazeri’s burial on Monday around 1:00pm, a brave woman stood in front of a Basiji and tore Khamenei’s picture up. After this action, the Basijis attacked her and beat her up badly. Unfortunately, the people were dispersed and nobody came to help the girl. Then the Basij goons sent her to Al-Zahra hotel. There is no subsequent information on her.
EXTRA INFORMATION from a reliable Facebook user:
According to Arash Sabz, the Basijis who arrested the young woman verbally threatened to rape her. Arash has requested help with regards to her whereabout and fate.
I would suggest for all of us to call Al-Zahra Hotel and make an inquiry. If a large number of us call and show concern, it might have an effect. The phone number for Al-Zahra Hotel in Qom, Iran is:
