Wait, so let me get this straight. Without taking a position on how Occupy Wall Street protesters are being treated by police, this man, the grand ayatollah of Iran, is actually passing judgment on said treatment? From the New York Times:
The ayatollah commended the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York, Washington and other American cities, calling them a consequence of ‘the prevalence of top-level corruption, poverty and social inequality in America.’ He denounced what he called ‘the heavy-handed treatment of the demonstrators by U.S. officials’ and said that such treatment ‘is not seen even in underdeveloped countries with dictatorial regimes.’
