Commemorating victims of the 2022-2023 protests in Iran
The people of Iran took the opportunity of one of the most significant religious occasions in Iran and the Middle East, by commemorating victims of the 2022-2023 Iran protests.
Friday, July 28, 2023, marked the day of martyrdom of the third Shiite Imam, Hussain (AS), the beloved grandson of the Prophet Mohammad. The incident is symbolic of sacrifice in the fight against oppression and injustice.
On this day, Iranian people visited the tombs of the courageous young women and men who were slain during the protests last year.
