IRAN EMBASSY SAYS NO EVENTS SCHEDULED AT EMBASSY ON LAST FRIDAY OF RAMADAN

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 10 (Bernama) -- The Iranian embassy said it has not
scheduled any events for the last Friday of Ramadan at the embassy here as
reported Monday.

Its first secretary Hossein Yousefi was clarifying a report which quoted
Iranian Ambassador Prof Dr Mohammad Mehdi Zahedi as saying that he welcomed
Malaysians, particularly youths to participate in the "Voice Day" event
scheduled for last Friday of the Ramadan fasting month at the Iranian embassy
here to protest Israeli atrocities against Palestine.

According to Yousefi, when the ambassador called on Dewan Rakyat Deputy
Speaker Datuk Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar Monday, he had mentioned that the
last Friday of Ramadan is the day people of the world regardless of their
religion and nationality to protest the atrocities of the Zionist regime against
Palestine.

Dr Zahedi had also said that this year, the programme would be held in Iran
and that other nations would also have such events against "this brutal regime."

"The embassy of the Islamic republic of Iran in Malaysia has not scheduled
any events for last Friday of Ramadan to be held at the embassy," Yousefi said.
