Iran’s Quranic Community Stages Rally in Support of Yemeni People
The participants slammed the coalition’s attacks on Yemen and the killing of innocent women, men and children in the impoverished country.
Speakers at the gathering said the aggressors (Saudi Arabia and its allies) print the Quran and their TV networks broadcast Quran recitations all the time but they have failed to act upon the teachings of the Holy Book.
Prominent Iranian Quranic figures including Masters Behruz Yarigol, Seyyed Hossein Mousavi Baladeh, Mehdi Qarasheikhlu, Abdul Rasul Abayi, Ali Akbar Tupchi, and Saeed Tousi were among the participants in the rally.
On March 26, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies began to militarily interfere in Yemen's internal affairs by launching deadly air strikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in an attempt to restore power to the fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.
The Saudi-led coalition said on Tuesday that its military operation "Decisive Storm", which included almost a month of air strikes against Yemen's Houthi movement, has ended.
But hours later, air strikes and ground fighting resumed and the International Red Cross described the humanitarian situation as "catastrophic."
According to the spokesman of the Yemeni Army, the Saudi-led war on the Arabian Peninsula country has killed 2,051 people, most of them innocent civilians.
