The funeral of former President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani has presented a rare occasion for Iranians to express public resistance.

Huge crowds flocked on to the streets of Tehran to commemorate the former insider and founding member of the revolution whose political allegiances shifted in later life towards the reformists.

Rafsanjani died of a heart attack on Sunday (January 8), at the age of 82.

Konser musik oleh Orkestra Simfoni Teheran dibatalkan hanya 15 menit sebelum dimulai karena menampilkan sejumlah musisi perempuan.

Sedianya orkestra akan tampil di acara pembukaan Kejuaraan Tinju Antarklub di ibu kota Iran.

Nazi-Paikidze-Barnes, seorang pecatur dunia yang berusia 22 tahun, memboikot kompetisi Kejuaraan Catur Dunia di Iran yang akan digelar tahun 2017.

“Saya pikir Iran tidak layak menjadi tuan rumah kejuaraan dunia catur perempuan, karena di negara itu perempuan tidak memiliki hak-hak dasar dan mereka diperlakukan sebagai warga kelas dua,” katanya.

Di Iran, perempuan secara hukum diharuskan mengenakan hijab atau jilbab.

Tens of thousands of mourners gathered in Tehran to pay their last respects to the former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani on Tuesday.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, incumbent President Hassan Rouhani and other senior officials were among the funeral prayers at the Tehran University campus.

Rafsanjani’s casket was buried at the shrine of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, to whom the former president was a close adviser and confidant.

Rafsanjani, 82, died of heart disease on Sunday.

Born in August 1934 in Iran’s Bahreman, Rafsanjani was an influential politician and religious scholar.
