Mina tragedy must not be forgotten: Leader

In a meeting with Hajj authorities on Monday, the Leader lashed out at governments, especially the Western states, and institutions which only claim to be advocates of human rights, for remaining tight-lipped in the face of the Mina tragedy, saying, “This incident mustn't be forgotten, and the [Iranian] diplomacy apparatus as well as the Hajj [and Pilgrimage] Organization have a duty to follow up on the issue with determination.”

The crush happened after two large masses of pilgrims converged at a crossroads in Mina during one of Hajj rituals on September 24.
