On December 16, In another part of his Friday prayer sermon, Imam Zahedan warned against intensifying security clashes with Sunni clerics and citizens, and implicitly identified the Islamic Republic regime as the perpetrator of the assassination of Mulavi Abdulvahed Rigi.
Mulavi Abdulvahed Rigi was one of the prominent scholars of Sistan and Baluchistan province and Imam of Sunni Imam Hossein Khash Mosque, who was kidnapped and killed on Thursday, December 8, at the same time as the recent protests in Iran.
Mulavi Abdul Hamid addressed the regime and emphasized not to push the work to narrow places and not to create insecurity. He stated, “Moulana Abdulvahed Rigi has been martyred. All scholars and people are worried. Recently, there have been some issues that assassinate scholars. Previously, they did not attack the scholars and religious leaders in this region.
In another part of his speech, this Iranian Sunni cleric criticized the filing of a case against Hamid Qarehasanlu and the death sentence of this imprisoned doctor and said: “The community of doctors and people are upset, release him.”
Mulavi Abdulhamid further addressed the government and said that do not deprive the students from studying and let them speak. Forgive and release the prisoners. A young man who did not kill anyone cannot be considered a warrior. “Don’t accuse young girls and boys of fighting.”
The imam of Ahl al-Sunnah Zahedan stated in rare statements, “A religion in which there is no forgiveness and mercy, that religion has no soul and there is no good in it.”
