Iranians stage nationwide rallies to commemorate “Dey 9 Epic”

According to IRNA on Sunday, December 30 every year which coincides with the ninth day of the Persian calendar month of Dey, is the reminder of the epic turnout of the Iranian nation to foil enemies plots.

Today, people from all walks of life are taking part in demonstrations across the country to renew their commitment to the Islamic government in the country and make sure that the measures taken by those involved in the unrests led by foreigners in 2009 following the presidential elections which brought to power Iran's former president (Mahmoud Ahmadinejad) for the second term that year will not happen again.

On December 30, 2009, millions of Iranians held rallies in the capital Tehran and several other cities to denounce the foreign-orchestrated unrest.

The unrests were later referred to by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as 'sedition' and the day of the public support for the Islamic establishment was called the '9 Dey Epic' (the epic made by Iranians in the ninth day of the 10th month of the Iranian calendar).
