Mass Funerals Held for Unidentified Iranian Martyrs
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – People across Iran attended the funeral processions for 300 unidentified martyrs on Thursday morning.
Iranian mourners across the country attended the funeral of the soldiers on the martyrdom anniversary of Hazrat Zahra (SA), daughter of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
People of different social strata have attended the funeral processions, signifying the Iranian people’s love for the martyrs.
The bones of the 300 martyrs have been recently unearthed three decades after the end of the Iraqi imposed war on Iran.
A mass funeral service for 100 martyrs began in the capital from the University of Tehran at 8 am local time.
The 300 martyrs will be laid to rest in over a hundred locations across Iran.
The martyrs are buried in different places, including universities, seminaries, premises of state organizations and a number of public parks.
The bodies have been found in Iran’s western and southwestern regions which used to be war zones during the Iraqi imposed war in the 1980s.
Iraq, under former dictator Saddam Hussein, invaded Iran on September 22, 1980, imposing a bitter eight-year war on its eastern neighbor.
