(IRNA) - 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, marking the last Friday of the holy fasting month of Ramadhan, were initiated by the late Founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran Imam Khomeini to voice the protest of the Islamic Ummah against Zionists, reports Trend.
Protesters in Tehran are crowding the streets leading to Tehran University campus where the Friday Prayers ceremony will be conducted by Expediency Chairman Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani later on.
The fasting people taking part in the rally 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.
