AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): With the beginning of the month of Muharram and the 10-day Ashura mourning period, mourning ceremonies are held every night in Ankara, the capital of Türkiye.
Dressed in black, Shia Muslims hold mourning rituals to remember Imam Hussein (PBUH), who was martyred along with his 72 companions in the Battle of Karbala, in southern Iraq, in 680 AD after fighting courageously for justice against thousands of soldiers of the Umayyad caliph, Yazid I.
A speech and mourning ceremony for the mourning of the martyrs of Hazrat Aba Abdullah al-Hussein (peace be upon him) and his companions will be held every night at Iran's cultural attaché office Hosseinieh in Ankara.
Shia Muslims, lovers of the Holy Prophet's Progeny (PBUH), and Iranians living in Türkiye participate in Hosseini's mourning ceremony in Ankara.
