Hossein Ali Montazeri
Hossein Ali Montazeri was a prominent Iranian cleric and a key figure in the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Once a designated successor to Ayatollah Khomeini, he became a vocal critic of the Iranian leadership, particularly regarding human rights abuses and the suppression of dissent. Montazeri's opposition to the regime's authoritarianism led to his house arrest for many years until his death in 2009, and he remains an important symbol for reformist movements in Iran.
