As all cemeteries located on Asgarabad Road have been relocated, the Baha’i cemetery must also move to another location. This is pursuant to the request made by the Baha’is to build a new cemetery, and I, Sayyid[i] Ali [illegible] Imam's representative have been ordered by Imam Khomeini and Ayatollah Montazeri to attend to this matter.  Accordingly, they [the Baha’is] are permitted to build the cemetery and bury their dead in [illegible] abad Kahrizak-Shahr-e-Rey, the land of which belongs to them. No one is permitted to harass them. Furthermore, Mr. Soltani who is a trusted cleric in Shahr-e Rey has been appointed to supervise the construction of the cemetery and [the] farming activities [of the Baha’is].
