Tehran, April 13, IRNA - Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance Ali
Jannati said on Monday that the umrah (minor) Hajj pilgrimage to Saudi
Arabia has been suspended by Iran.

Speaking in a local gathering, Jannati underscored that the Hajj and
Pilgrimage Organization has been ordered to suspend all of umrah (minor)
Hajj pilgrimage to as of Monday until the Arab country punishes the
perpetrators behind the sexual assault on two teenager Iranian Hajj
pilgrims.

'A large number of Iranian senior clerics have voiced their concerns over
this issue and believe that the Saudi officials usually deal with the umrah
pilgrims in inappropriate ways,' he added.

Jannati underscored that the Saudi government had even promised capital
punishment for those who offended the Iranian youth pilgrims at Jeddah
Airport, but so far noting has been made in that end.

Iran lodged a complaint with the Saudi government against the policemen
involved in sexual harassment of two Iranian young boys at the airport.
