Tehran : The International Qods Day rallies started in Tehran on Friday attended by thousands of fasting people from different walks of life.
The International Qods Day rallies, held on the last Friday of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, were initiated by the late Founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran Imam Khomeini to voice support for the oppressed Palestinian nation and protest of the Islamic Ummah against Zionist usurpers.
Demonstrators in Tehran were crowding the streets leading to Tehran University campus where the Friday Prayers will be conducted by Head of the Experts Assembly Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani later on.
The fasting people taking part in the rallies are chanting such slogans as “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” to express their hatred of the world hegemonic powers as well as the Zionist regime.
