IRI lawmakers stage rally for Gaza

Islamic Consultative Assembly (Majlis) was closed Wednesday morning so that the MPs could attend rallies to protest the recent Zionists' brutality in the Gaza Strip.

The MPs will also attend a gathering at Palestine square, in downtown Tehran, at the end of the rally to express their hatred towards the Zionists' savage attacks on the Palestinians in the occupied territories.

The Majlis deputies had earlier condemned the brutal crimes committed by the Zionist regime against the oppressed Palestinian people.

Several MPs on Tuesday, in a written note to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, called for holding a meeting of the Organization of the Islamic Conference urgently.

The MPs called for an OIC extraordinary session to practically confront the new wave of Zionists' brutality against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
