Najafabad is the birthplace and "stronghold" of Ayatollah Hosseinali Montazeri, Iran's most outspoken cleric. Located not far from Isfahan, it has been the scene of sporadic skirmishes between Montazeri supporters and the security forces in recent months.
There have been few first-hand accounts of what has been happening there. Here's a report from Payam-e Emrooz (Today's Message) magazine, published in Iran. (in Persian)
