Tehran Times: Huge turnout in marches marking Islamic Revolution anniversary

The people from all walks of life took part in the rallies in more than 1000 cities and towns across the country.

WNU Editor: Students in Iran are going to learn English .... even with this Iranian government ban. I live in the province of Quebec, Canada, and in this province the children of immigrants must enroll their kids into French schools where English is only taught in High School (and not much of it at that).
