Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri Publishes His Memoirs

December 15, 2000

Ayatollah Montazeri who was once selected to lead as the supreme leader of Iran following Ayatollah Khomeini's death in 1998 has published his memoirs. These memoirs have been banned in Iran and provide a unique insight into Iran's revolutionary history before and after the revolution. Ayatollah Montazeri was ousted and stripped of his title in 1988 by Ayatollah Khomeini, just prior to the leader's death due to his public criticism of the government. He has been under house arrest ever since.
