Prominent Shia cleric Aga Syed Mohammed Hadi Kashmiri has been placed under house arrest for the second consecutive Friday, Anjuman Sharie Shiayan said.
In a Facebook post, Anjuman Sharie Shiayan said, “President Anjuman e Sharie Shiayan Hujjat ul Islam Wal Muslimeen Aga Syed Mohammad Hadi al- Mosavi Al- Safvi has again been put under detention at his residence by the authorities in regard with Friday congregation today.”

Aga Hadi Mohammed Kashmiri who is renowned among both Sunni and Shia Muslims was placed under house arrest the last Friday too to prevent him from leading a protest in support of Palestinian people.

“He has been barred from making any movements outside his home. This is happening for the second consecutive Friday and it the same time Police personnel were deployed outside the mosque where he leads Friday prayers in Bemina. This is highly Condemnable,” he said.
