People in Iran are mourning the passing of Chairman of the Expediency Council Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, who died on Sunday at the age of 82. Large crowds of mourners clogged the street around the hospital in northern Tehran where Ayatollah Rafsanjani was admitted after suffering a heart attack. His body was later taken to Jamaran prayer hall, where a large number of politicians and religious figures gathered to pay their last respects to the cleric. His funeral will be held in Tehran on Tuesday. The government has announced three days of mourning and a public holiday on Tuesday. Ayatollah Rafsanjani was among the main aides to the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini. He played an influential role both during the anti-Shah struggles before the victory of the Islamic Revolution and afterwards through various stages of the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
