Iran Press/Iran news: The memorial was held to commemorate the 40th day of martyrdom of martyrs of security and the defenders of the Iranian nation on Thursday.
The Iranian nation commemorated the 40th day of martyrdom of those who have sacrificed themselves to become the martyrs of security and the defenders of the Iranian nation, including Moretza Ebrahimi who lost his life in November riots in Iran.
The memorial is going to be held in Shahriar county Western Tehran in Amir-al- Moumenin Mosque.
In mid-November, the Iranian government raised gasoline prices in order to moderate the national consumption rate, Iran Press reported.
The move prompted protests in a number of cities that went largely peaceful, but turned violent when armed riotous elements took advantage of the situation to vandalize public and state property, and attack civilians and security forces alike.
The unrest, however, did not last long as people from all walks of life took to the streets across the country, this time in support of the Islamic establishment and in condemnation of the riots.
