“Clarification, It is important for the management the page of Imam Khomeini regiment of Ayta ash Shab to clarify that the mistake that took place by liking one of the (inappropriate) pages was done by mistake by one of the sons of the managers of the page, as he was playing with the phone and entered the group’s page, which required clarification and correction, however, no pictures or pages are ever liked other than the group’s associated pages.”
