'Dey 9 Epic' mass rally held in Birjand

People of Birjand, the capital of the Iranian Province of South Khorasan have taken to the streets on Monday to commemorate the anniversary of the 'Dey 9 Epic'.

People rallied in various cities, including the city of Birjand, on Monday to celebrate "Dey 9 Epic" which restored tranquility to the nation after months of political wrangling and unrest, and ended what the Iranian authorities described as "sedition" ensuing the presidential election in June of the same year.

On December 30, 2009, millions of people took to the streets in Tehran and several other major cities and condemned the foreign-orchestrated unrest, which erupted following the 2009 presidential poll.
