Iran remembers 'founding father'

2012-06-02 45

Ceremonies across Iran are marking the 21st anniversary of the death of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of Iran's Islamic revolution.

For some Iranians, this is a time to celebrate the revolution and its achievements.

But others consider it to be an unfortunate anniversary of when Iran changed into a religiously policed and controlled nation.
