"All governments [must] know that the wave of Islamic Awakening in the world will not die out," Ayatollah Emami Kashani said, addressing a large and fervent congregation of people on Tehran University campus today.
Ayatollah Emami Kashani further lashed out at international organizations and rights groups for their silence and inaction toward the brutal crackdowns of popular protests in Muslim nations.
"International organizations do not take a step against oppression, but rather they take measures against the oppressed and this behavior intensifies the disappointment of nations with these [world] powers," he noted.
In recent months, a wave of revolutions and anti-government uprisings has been sweeping the Arab world.
In January, a revolution in Tunisia ended the 23-year ruling of former President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
In February, another Arab revolution led to the ouster of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak after three decades of his authoritarian rule.
Other revolutions are erupting in Libya, Yemen and Bahrain, while other anti-government unrests have swept Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait and Algeria.
