In Iran tens of thousands of people turned out today for the funeral of Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, one of Iran’s most prominent dissident clerics. Montazeri was a fierce critic of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and called his re-election a fraud. Meanwhile, an Iranian military court has determined at least three Iranian political prisoners were beaten to death by their jailers following June’s presidential election. On Saturday, three Iranian jail officials were charged with murder.
