Sister of Iran’s ruler Ali Khamenei has condemned the “authoritarian rule” of her brother saying she hopes to see the overthrow of tyranny in Iran soon.
In an open letter in Farsi and English on her son’s twitter account, Badri Khamenei said the regime of Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic, and Ali Khamenei his successor brought nothing but “suffering and oppression” to Iranians.
She went on to say that the people of Iran deserve freedom and prosperity, and their uprising is legitimate.
“As my human duty, many times I brought the voice of the people to the ears of my brother Ali Khamenei…But after I saw that he did not listen…I cut off my relationship with him,” Khamenei’s only sister told the public.
