The sister of Iran's Supreme Leader has condemned the brutal regime and criticised her brother's "despotic caliphate" in a scathing open letter.
Badri Hosseini Khamenei, sister of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said she has cut ties with her brother and said she express sympathy with "all mothers mourning the crimes of the Islamic Republic".
Her comments come as Iran is gripped by its fourth month of demonstrations, in which people are demanding the overthrow of Iran's clerical rulers following the tragic death of Mahsa Amini, 22, who died in police custody.
