Description from Wikipedia:
Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Kazem Shariatmadari (محمد کاظم شریعتمداری), also spelled Shariat-Madari (1905, Tabriz – 3 April 1986, Tehran), born to an Azeri family in Tabriz, he was among the most senior leading Twelver Shi'a clerics in Iran and Iraq and was known for his somewhat liberal views. After the death of Supreme and Grand Ayatollah Borujerdi (Marja' Mutlaq) in 1962 he became one of the leading marjas, with followers in Iran, especially Pakistan, India, Lebanon, Kuwait and the southern Persian Gulf states. He recognized Ayatollah Khomeini as a Grand Ayatollah in 1963 saving his life from being killed by the Shah since according to the Iranian constitution a Marja' could not be executed. Khomeini was exiled instead. As the leading Mujtahid he was the head of Qom's seminary until Khomeini's arrival. He was in favour of the traditional Shiite view of keeping clerics away from governmental poistions and a vehement critic of Khomeini. He headed the Center for Islamic Study and Publications and was the administrator of the Fatima Madrasa in Qum.
