Its leader Yasser Al-Habib is a controversial cleric whose film The Lady Of Heaven had to be pulled from UK cinemas earlier this year after protests from some Sunni Muslims offended by its interpretation of Islamic history.
Members linked to the group have cited ‘persecution’ by the Azerbaijani government of some Shia Muslims in the country.

The Sunni-Shiite divide in the Middle East is about nationalism, not a conflict within Islam
