Background
[edit]Hassan Tabatabaei Qomi, the son of the Grand Ayatollah Qomi fromMashhad,remained under house arrest from 1984 to 2007.[2]Beside his house arrest and limited opportunity to lecture and advice students, his importance as a theological authority was also decreased by virtue of the fact that the Islamic Republic of Iran has systematically promotedQomthroughout the past 30 years as a center of theological learning at the expense of the city ofMashhad.
In an interview with the London-based Kayhan International newspaper in June 1997, he condemned the theological basis of theIslamic Republic of Iranand described theVilayat-e Faqihas violating Islamic principles. He also commented on the election ofMohammad Khatamito the presidency in 1997 as an indication of the rejection of theVilayat-e Faqihon the part of theIranian people.
