Around 80 people gathered at the Imam Reza Mosque in Berlin to mourn the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a U.S. strike.
German police monitored the memorial service, and authorities reported no disturbances or clashes, German media reports.
Several dozen people also held a counter-demonstration outside the mosque. Law enforcement officials confirmed that both gatherings remained peaceful.
The Imam Reza Mosque has regularly been under increased surveillance by German authorities. It is considered a meeting place for supporters of Hezbollah and pro-Palestinian organisations, with most worshippers coming from Lebanon.
In recent years, the mosque has frequently hosted mourning ceremonies for high-ranking Iranian figures, including a service in January 2020 for General Qasem Soleimani, who was killed in a U.S. military operation in Iraq.
