Three Late Quran Activists to be Commemorated

--A ceremony has been projected for tonight, Aug. 31, to honor three late Iranian Quranic figures on the sidelines of Tehran's 17th International Quran Exhibition.

The function will be attuned by a number of Quran activists and some immediate family members of two Quran translators Mohammad-Mahdi Fouladvand and Tahereh Saffar-Zadeh and the Quranic author Mahdi Azar-Noori, all of whom passed away in the past two years.

Hossein Ostad-Vali, Mohammad-Ali Khaje-Piri and Mohammad Sabouri, Azar-Yazdi's son in-law will deliver lectures on the personality and works of the three Quranic dignitaries.

During the holy month of Ramadan, an annual memorial ceremony is held on the sidelines of the international Quran exhibition to honor late Quran activists.
