AL-QUDS DAY RALLY IN IRAN
Head of the State Expediency Council and Iran's former President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani leads Weekly Friday Prayer on Al-Quds day (Jerusalem Day) in front of Tehran University campus in Tehran, Iran on October 5, 2007. Jerusalem Day, an annual day of protest decreed in 1979 by the Iran's late revolutionary founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini , saw people across the Middle East demand that the holy city be returned to Palestinian control.
