New Delhi: Iranian Authority have declared martial law in the city of Najafabad, the hometown of the dissident cleric Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, birth place of late Ayatollah Montazeri, on Sunday evening according to the Social Headquarters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) inside the country. The suppressive forces used loudspeakers mounted on cars to warn local residents not to get out of their houses. The decision was made following extensive demonstrations on Ashura.

In the past nine days, people have been demonstrating ceaselessly in Najaf Abad chanting anti-regime and anti-Khamenei slogans.
