Iran Press/Iran news: Followers of different religions gathered at Imam Khomeini's mausoleum in south Tehran on Wednesday, to pay tribute and renew their allegiance with the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The ceremony of renewing allegiance to Imam's ideals held as Iran is preparing to commemorate the anniversary of a public uprising in June 5, 1963 that ignited the flames of Islamic Revolution of Iran.
The demonstrations and uprising of 5 June 1963, known as 15th of Khordad uprising, saw large numbers of people protest publicly against the Pahlavi regime and the arrest of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini after his strong remarks on the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Israel, and the United States.
The protesters were harshly suppressed but the event showed the vitality and power of the opposition against Pahlavi dynasty and the support Iranian nation had for their cherished religious and political figure, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who 15 years later led the Islamic Revolution to a historic victory, establishing the Islamic Republic of Iran. 101/211/201
