Thousands of mourners attended funeral services in Iran for pilgrims killed in a stampede during Haj in September in Saudi Arabia.
A ceremony at Tehran University on Sunday was one of several held for dozens of victims whose remains were flown back to Iran the day before. Another 114 bodies arrived on Sunday.
Iran has blamed Saudi authorities for the disaster. Mourners at the Tehran ceremony chanted “death to Al-Saud,” referring to Saudi Arabia’s ruling family.
Saudi authorities said 769 pilgrims died in the stampede near Mecca in the worst disaster to strike the annual pilgrimage in a quarter-century.
