The sources pointed out that the Iranian intelligence agents coercively stopped the vehicle and insulted Grand Ayatollah Shirazi and arrested his son, Ayatollah Sayyid Hussein al-Shirazi after violently beating him in front of his father until his turban fell to the ground, to be later on transferred to an unknown destination in an unprecedented incident in the history of Iran, where a Grand Jurist is being assaulted in public.
