Tehran, 20 May_With the Quds Day arriving, Muslims, non-Muslims, and all freedom-seeking people across the world are preparing to mark a day that epitomizes the Palestinian people’s valor and heroic resistance over the years against an illegal entity that has no scruples about shedding their blood.
International Quds Day, celebrated on the last Friday of the Islamic month of Ramadan, is seen as the legacy of the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khomeini, who is revered as a spiritual leader by Muslims across the world.
On May 22 every year, people across the world, regardless of their faith, denounce Israel’s atrocities against the Palestinian people and voice their support for the Palestinian cause.
The annual event is an opportunity for people to express their indignation at the apartheid regime of Israel, which has occupied Palestinian territories since 1967.
This year’s Quds Day comes in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, which has so far claimed more than 320,000 lives and infected 4.8 million others since it started late last year.
