Tehran has been hosting a photo exhibition on national popularity of Martyr Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani since Monday.

Titled ‘Sarv-e Ravan’, the exhibition is showcasing a collection of photos reflecting on aspects of the general’s popularity among the Iranian people.

The expo is being held at the Art Bureau of the Islamic Ideology Dissemination Organization to commemorate the martyrdom anniversary of Soleimani who was the commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), and assassinated by a US drone strike at Baghdad’s international airport on January 3, 2020.

The exhibit was scheduled to be organized in the first martyrdom anniversary of Soleimani, based on a call for photos published by the Iranian Photographers Center of the Art Bureau, however, it was canceled due to the pandemic.

More than 1,000 photos were submitted to the center, about 130 out of which were selected to be showcased in three categories, Professionals, Mobile Photos by People, and Photos by Young Adults at the exhibition that will be running until January 19, 2022.
