ALBAWABA - Angry demonstrators have set fire to the founder of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Videos and photos have been shared and confirmed by some news agencies. However, the Iranian government denied it.
Ayatollah Khomeini was born in the house, but it was turned later on into a museum to commemorate the leader's life.

Since the start of the latest protests, viral videos have been shared online showing Iranians burning down the photos of Ruhollah Khomeini and Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Violent protests have been going on in Iran since mid-September following the death of Mahsa Amini, 22, during her arrest by Iran's morality police on Sept. 16. Mahsa was detained by the country's police over wearing an improper hijab.
