Iran’s presidency is to sue top reformist cleric Grand Ayatollah Yusef Sanei for allegedly insulting President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Fars news agency reported on Sunday.
“Following an insulting speech made in a ceremony by Mr Sanei against the president, the president’s legal office has prepared a complaint against him,” Fars said, quoting an unnamed source in the presidential office.
“The complaint will be submitted to the Special Court for Clergy,” the source said, without offering further details.
