تعطیلی گسترده زندگی عمومی و حضور میلیونی در مراسم تشییع؛ گزارش میدانی

— I can’t describe what this is like, I don’t know how to explain to people how insane this funeral is. It’s the awakening of an entire nation. Public life is completely shut down in these cities. People travel from hundreds of kilometers just to visit the martyred Leader. They sleep on the hard streets, some even without food, in 30 degree weather. People walk, sometimes 10-20 kilometers, with their children, elderly, sick, and even crippled or disabled, to visit the martyred Leader. There isn’t a single street within the city that doesn’t have dozens or hundreds of mourners walking to the funeral site. There is no metro station without chants of ‘Allahu Akbar’. Some of the people that are attending, didn’t even like the Islamic Republic. Some of them never attended a rally in their lives. What is happening is completely unprecedented in the history of the world.
