Beirut marked passing anniversary of Imam Khomeini

A ceremony was held in the Lebanese capital Beirut on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the heavenly departure of late Imam Khomeini.

The summit was held in early June in Beirut where experts and academic fighures held talks in Lebanon to discuss the legacy of the late founder of the Islamic Revolution.

Lebanese academic institutes, political groups and dignitaries with close coordination of the Iranian culture house and Embassy took active part to organize the ceremony.

The event was attended by the Iranian and Lebanese academics and scholars of several other nationalities from around the globe.

Several experts on the Islamic studies and  eastern studies also participated in the ceremony of great significance.

Iranians and devotees of Imam across the globe hold the mourning ceremonies to mark the sad occasion.

Every year, large crowds of Iranians from across Iran and foreign guests traveled to Tehran to attend a commemoration ceremony at Imam Khomeini’s shrine to pay tribute to the late founder of the Islamic Republic.

Rouhollah Moussavi Khomeini, better known as Imam Khomeini, spearheaded Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, which led to the overthrow of the US-backed Shah of Iran.

Imam Khomeini passed away on June 4, 1989 at the age of 87.
