TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran has arrested an aide to Grand Ayatollah Hossein-Ali Montazeri following fresh criticism by the dissident cleric against Islamic republic leaders over freedom, reports said on Sunday.

"An information aide in Ayatollah Montazeri's office has been arrested in Qom after publishing his recent comments," reformist Kargozaran newspaper said.

Montazeri's official website said security officials in the religious city of Qom arrested mid-ranking cleric Mojtaba Lotfi on Wednesday after he published a sermon by Montazeri at the end of the fasting month of Ramadan.

"Why aren't your slogans in line with your action? You describe Iran as the freest country in the world while you take away legitimate and legal liberties inside the country," Montazeri said on October 1 according to his website.

Isn’t that the so-called cleric who visited Desert One the morning after and waved body parts of our fallen in front
