He is a son of Grand Ayatollah Sadiq al-Shirazi.[1][2] He is currently the head of his father's office and is residing in Qom, Iran.

Early life and education

Hussein al-Shirazi was born in Karbala, to Sadiq al-Shirazi, a Shia marja', and Siddiqa Thabit, the daughter of Muhammad Thabit, a cleric and orator. A year after his birth, his family were exiled from Iraq, and settled in Kuwait. Ten years later, they migrated to Iran, and settled in Qom.

al-Shirazi began his religious education at an early stage, and studied under his uncle, Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad al-Shirazi, and his father. He also studied under Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad-Sadiq al-Rohani.[1]

Clashes with Iran

Arrest

Hussein al-Shirazi was forcefully arrested by police in Qom on March 6, 2018.[3] The reasons for his arrest was because he was critical of Velayat Faqih and Iranian Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei in a lecture he gave in Qom. In his lecture, he compared Khamenei to the Pharaoh of Egypt.[4]

His arrest sparked outrage from the followers of his father, and as a result of this it led to protests in London, Kuwait and Iraq.[5] In London, protestors–linked to the controversial cleric, Yasser al-Habib–managed to climb onto the balcony of the Iranian Embassy, waving their flags and chanting anti-Khamenei and Islamic Republic slogans.[6][7] The protestors who climbed the balcony and replaced the flag of Iran with the blue flag of al-Habib's organisation (Servants of Imam Mahdi), were arrested. Nobody was hurt during the protests in the embassy.[8][9]

Protests aftermath

Iranian Ambassador to United Kingdom, Hamid Baeidinejad tweeted that the assailants belonged to the "Shirazi Cult", and that the staff in the embassy were well and not harmed.[8]

The current Prosecutor-General of Iran, Mohammad Jafar Montazeri warned that the country's Judicial system will take "any legal action against the supports of al-Shirazi's father, and during an Iranian State TV (IRIB) interview claimed that the Shirazi sect is causing fitna amongst Muslim Sects."[10]

Release

After 13 days of being arrested, Hussein al-Shirazi was released from prison, on bail.[11]
