Athens Muslims Commemorate Martyred Leader of Islamic Revolution

IQNA – A ceremony was held at the Votanikos Mosque in the capital of Greece to commemorate martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei.

Muslim residents of Athens gathered on Sunday, April 19, at the Votanikos Mosque for the special religious service commemorating Ayatollah Khamenei.

The event, which included prayers, was organized by the Shia Muslim Community of Greece.

The Votanikos Mosque, inaugurated in 2020, is Athens’ first official mosque since the Greek Revolution. For decades before its opening, Athens was the only European capital without a formal mosque, forcing the Muslim community to use unofficial prayer spaces.

Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, along with a number of senior commanders and others, was martyred in a US-Israeli strike on his office in Tehran on February 28.
