\"\"VOA \u2014 A town in France has decided to hide from public view a sign noting its brief connection to the former supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.<\/p>\n

The sign, which includes a portrait of Khomeini, stands on private land in Neauphle-Le-Chateau, outside of Paris, but it is visible from the street.<\/p>\n

Khomeini stayed there for several months in late 1978 and early 1979 before returning to Iran.<\/p>\n

Amid the current protests in Iran sparked by the death in police custody of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, a collection of 40 groups asked the town government to take several steps to distance itself from its links to Khomeini, including hiding the sign.<\/p>\n

International Women’s Law League posted on Facebook that its representatives met Wednesday with the town\u2019s mayor, Elisabeth Sandjivy, to discuss their requests.<\/p>\n

Agence France-Presse reported that Sandjivy told the news agency the sign \u201cwill be hidden,\u201d probably by way of a large panel installed on the sidewalk to block it.<\/p>\n
