Reports that Basijis tore pictures of Montazeri. Were stopped by other Sec. Forces from attacking mourners #IranElection
Iran continued...
1010 GMT: Andisheh-ye No (New Thought), one of five papers warned this weekend for not paying due attention to “large” pro-Government rallies on Friday has been banned from publishing. 1005 GMT: Iran Mediawatch. It looks like Mehr News has defied the Government command to ignore the crowds for Montazeri. It has photos of the gathering and of prominent figures paying condolences. It may be a sign of demand for confirmation of events or, alternatively, Internet restrictions in Iran that Mehr’s website appears to be overloaded.
0940 GMT: Images of Mourning. Photos have been posted of Mehdi Karroubi and Mir Hossein Mousavi paying their respects inside the Montazeri house. We have also posted the first videos of mass demonstrations in Qom and Najafabad.
0910 GMT: Press TV just posted a short report on the funeral of “leading clerical figure Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri”. It mentions the Supreme Leader’s condolences, omitting the criticisms of Montazeri.
There is no mention, however, of the crowds in Qom.
0905 GMT: The View from the Other Site — Montazeri & “Terrorists”. One of the few remarks from an Iran-based commentator in non-Iranian media is in Al Jazeera English’s coverage. It comes from Tehran University academic Seyed Mohammad Marandi:
ILNA also emphasises, via the word of Montazeri’s doctor, that the cleric died of natural causes.
0850 GMT: New Entries. We have posted the video and translation of an interview given by Grand Ayatollah Montazeri’s son Saeed yesterday on his father’s last words and views: “I think one of the main reasons [for his death] was his grief for the post-election events which troubled my father a lot.”
And, on another front, we have posted a view from Tehran of the current Iranian position in the nuclear talks with the “West” and the International Atomic Energy Agency.

[Montazeri said] the same thing for around 25 years….After his inner circle was discovered to be linked to Mujahidin terrorists based in Iraq, he was isolated by the reformists….He is not a major player and has always been very critical.0855 GMT: Iranian Mediawatch. Press TV’s website has nothing on the funeral (now see 910 GMT). The Iranian Labor News Agency’s English site has a short item that “thousands of mourners converged” on Qom and that Mir Hossein Mousavi attended. ILNA also uses the title “Ayatollah” for Montazeri, who was “one of the leaders of the 1979 Iranian Revolution along with the founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini”.

Police in Poland find sign stolen from Auschwitz gate
The "Arbeit macht frei" sign stolen from Auschwitz in southern Poland has been found in the north and five men have been arrested, police say.
They said the metal sign from the main gate, which symbolises for many the atrocities of Nazi Germany, had been cut into three pieces.
A major search was launched after the sign was stolen before dawn on Friday.
Its theft, the motive for which was not being reported, caused outrage in Israel and among Polish politicians.
Five men in their 20s or 30s were detained and were being taken to Krakow for questioning, a police spokeswoman said...
The latest from Iran
0840 GMT: Mir Hossein Mousavi’s Kalemeh, in a long report on the funeral, confirms that both Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi were in the procession. 0810 GMT: Montazeri’s son has asked the crowd to quiet their chants, but the protests continue.
0805 GMT: Mediawatch. The Montazeri ceremonies/protests are now the lead item on the BBC, with Jon Leyne providing an excellent summary both of today’s gathering and of attempted Government restrictions. Leyne says that Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi were in the funeral procession, a claim that we have been unable to confirm.
0735 GMT: With security forces apparently trying to move people from the Shrine, crowds are moving about Qom, with many reportedly headed toward Montazeri’s house.
0730 GMT: The doors of the Masoumeh Shrine have been closed because of the size of the crowd.
0720 GMT: Numerous reports of the crowd’s mourning turning into a protest with chants against the Government and even the Supreme Leader.
0657 GMT: It appears the ceremony proceeded more quickly than we first reported (0615 GMT). Reports now that Montazeri has been buried in the Massoumeh Shrine.
0650 GMT: The article in Time from Robin Wright, one of the best US-based journalists on Iran, is to the point: “Iran’s Opposition Loses a Mentor But Gains a Martyr”.
0643 GMT: Josh Shahryar has posted a tribute, “Good Bye Montazeri, You Will Be Missed”: “The struggle for freedom, human rights and justice will continue. If we’ve learned anything in the past six months it is that the Iranian people’s desire for change will not die with the death of an individual – no matter how important that individual may be.”
0640 GMT: Ayatollah Shobeiri-Zanjani is now leading prayers.
0630 GMT: A LiveBlog from Qom is claiming “hundreds of thousands” are now in the streets. Reported chant: “Montazeri is not dead; the Government is dead.”
0615 GMT (0945 Tehran & Qom): The mourning ceremonies for Grand Ayatollah Hossein-Ali Montazeri began about 30 minutes ago in Qom, with his body being taken from his house to the Imam Hassan mosque. In about 45 minutes, the procession will move from the mosque to the Masoumeh Shrine. There are reports, despite Government efforts to limit or prevent attendance, tens of thousands have lined the route.
As well as the reported orders from the regime to Iranian newspapers to prohibit his photograph on front pages, to ignore Montazeri’s political significance and emphasise the 1989 incident that led to his dismissal as Ayatollah Khomeini’s successor, the Government is jamming BBC Persian.

I'm a sinister elf,
With a sinister plan,
Santa's little helper,
With too much time on my hands,
He's got a fine lookin' wife,
For such an old man,
With a sinister plan,
Santa's little helper,
With too much time on my hands,
He's got a fine lookin' wife,
For such an old man,
I can see her lookin' at me,
When there is no one else around.
And I'm countin' down the days to December 24th,
The old mans in his sleigh,
I am sneakin' in the back door,
When there is no one else around.
And I'm countin' down the days to December 24th,
The old mans in his sleigh,
I am sneakin' in the back door,
She asks if I know what the candy cane is for,
While he's slidin' down the chimney,
I'll be comin' back for more.
Not really worried 'bout the old man findin' out,
While he's slidin' down the chimney,
I'll be comin' back for more.
Not really worried 'bout the old man findin' out,
'Cuz me and Rudolph worked the whole thing out,
It's not about vengeance or anything like that,
I just want a little sex,
It's not about vengeance or anything like that,
I just want a little sex,
And the old man off my back.
Rudy's out for blood,
Rudy's out for blood,
'Cuz he hates the fat old man,
'Cuz he caught him in the stables with his fat little hands
On a female reindeer he likes named Wynona,
And the last thing he wants to see is Santa on her,
'Cuz he caught him in the stables with his fat little hands
On a female reindeer he likes named Wynona,
And the last thing he wants to see is Santa on her,
So we're loadin' up the toy sack with heroin and crack,
We sent Santa off to Georgia,
He ain't comin' back,
And we call up an evil green Grinch,
To tell him Santa's holdin',
He ain't comin' back,
And we call up an evil green Grinch,
To tell him Santa's holdin',
And they'll have him on the chain gang,
And the electric chair,
The electric chair,
And there'll be a happy ending,
And the electric chair,
The electric chair,
And there'll be a happy ending,
All you girls and all you boys
There won't be no more Santa,
There won't be no more Santa,
There won't be no more toys,
There'll be no stoppin' Rudy and Wynona,
And I'll be taking off Mrs. Claus' Kimono
I'll be taking off Mrs. Claus' Kimono
I'll be taking off Mrs. Claus' Kimono
I'll be taking off Mrs. Claus' Kimono
Merry Christmas
Get it
HERE
There'll be no stoppin' Rudy and Wynona,
