900 Iranian, Foreign Reporters to Cover Int’l Quds Day in Iran

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – 900 Iranian and non-Iranian reporters are due to cover the International Quds Day in Iran to be marked on Friday in a show of support for the oppressed people of Palestine.

Ramezan Sharifi, an official with the organizing council, announced on Tuesday that 800 Iranian and 100 non-Iranian reporters, photographers, and cameramen will cover the massive rallies to be held on International Quds Day, on July 10. 

Millions of people in Iran as well as other countries in the world are expected to hold massive rallies on Friday to show their solidarity with the Palestinian people and the cause of Palestine.

The event's overarching theme is the support for the Palestinians and fierce denunciation of Israel.

It is seen as an opportunity for freedom-seeking people across the world, regardless of faith, to voice their support for the cause of Palestine and vent their anger against the Apartheid regime of Israel, which has occupied Palestinian territories since 1967.

The day is also seen as the legacy of the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khomeini, who officially declared the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan as International Quds Day back in 1979.
