AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The 32nd demise anniversary of the late Imam Khomeini, titled “Imam Khomeini and His Campaign against Oppression” was commemorated at Ahl al-Bait Forum of Madrid on Saturday.

Iran’s ambassador to Spain, the cultural attaché of Iran in Spain, and the head of Ahl al-Bait Forum in Madrid and a Spanish analyst gave lectures on the late Imam Khomeini’s personality and viewpoints in the event.

The cultural attaché of Iran in Spain Mohammad Mahdi Ahmadi gave the keynote address, in which he consoled the audience of the late Imam’s demise anniversary, and focused on the meaning of oppression in the Glorious Qur’an, adding that the reason why Imam Khomeini’s Campaign against Opression was chosen as the titled of this commemoration service is that the late Imam Khomeini revived the culture of campaign against oppression in the world.

“What comes to people’s minds of the concept of oppression is social oppression, that occurs when somebody, or a group is treated unjustly, while in the Glorious Qur’an oppression is of three kinds.

“In Qur’an when something is not in its proper place justice is not observed three types pf oppression can occur, the first of which is in beliefs, the second one against a person, and the 3rd against a society. In the second type, oppression of a person against himself, or herself, too, is included,” he added.

The Iranian cultural attaché said that the late Imam Khomeini (P) campaigned against all these three types of oppression, and the main axis in his campaign was Almighty Allah, and the need to fully abide by all His Commands.
