Add Sanaei, Too

Tagheer is reporting that on the eve of Quds day, Grand Ayotollah Sanaei intends to travel to Tehran to be present for tomorrow's demonstrations. This is the first instance I can point to where one of Iran's marja taqlid, or “source of emulation," has publicly stood with the Green movement.

As I have written earlier, this coalescence between the clerics and the opposition is exactly what the Green movement needs to pose a legitimate threat to the coup government.
