The role of Sayyed Morteza Ahrami and Akhund Khorasani in the Bushehr Uprising (1909/1327), a documentary review

The closure of the National Assembly (1908/1326) by Mohammad Ali Shah coup is marked as the beginning of a Minor Autarchy (estebdad-e saghir) era in Iran. This made many constitutionalists disillusioned and dissatisfied. One of the protesting movements was the uprising of the Iranians in the south, especially in Bushehr. Two clerical figures, Ayatollah Akhund Khorasani and Sayyed Morteza Ahrami, were of paramount importance during this movement. This article, based on documentary studies, focuses on the leadership of Ahrami and the role of Khorasani as a supporter of the Iranian constitutional movement. The act and thought of religious leadership in the Iranian constitutional movement is another aspect studied here. It specifically broadens a view of Khorasaniʹs approach as the clerical leader of the constitutional movement and confirms the existence of regional distinctions in the constitutional movements.
