Tehran (IP) - On the occasion of International Human Rights Day, the daughter of Martyr Sabzalizadeh, the victim of the terrorist attack on the Imam Khomeini Mausoleum, was honored in a ceremony to honor Iranian victims of terror.

Iran PressIran News: Zeinab was only 9 when she heard that her father, Maziar Sabzalizadeh, was martyred in the ISIS terrorist attack on the Imam Khomeini Mausoleum in the south of the Iranian capital of Tehran.

Martyr Maziar Sabzalizadeh, the only martyr of the 2017 terrorist attack on Imam Khomeini Mausoleum, was one of the service employees.

Back on 7 June 2017, the Islamic Republic of Iran suffered a hideous terrorist attack on its soil, which killed and injured dozens of people.

The attacks took place on Wednesday morning at the Imam Khomeini Mausoleum just South of Tehran and at the Iranian Parliament or Majlis at the heart of Tehran.

"A father is a hero of a girl's life," says Zeinab with a lump in her throat while recalling those days after five years.

In the ceremony to honor the victim of the ISIS terrorist group, which was held on Monday in Robat Karim city, Tehran province, she added: "A daughter's support is her father who stands behind her like a mountain, but I was deprived of the presence of my dear father who should have been by my side."

Manijheh Safi Yari, who herself was severely injured in the MKO (Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization or MEK) terrorist attacks in 1985 in Tehran and attended the event as a representative of the Association for the Defense of Victims of Terrorism, told Iran Press: "In this event, we pay tribute to the child of a martyr, and we hope that global peace be achieved and human rights not be violated."

She stated that Iran has 17,000 terror martyrs, "Among these martyrs, children who are victims of terror have double innocence."

Human Rights Day is celebrated annually around the world on 10 December every year.

The date was chosen to honor the United Nations General Assembly's adoption and proclamation, on 10 December 1948, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the first global enunciation of human rights and one of the first major achievements of the new United Nations.
