History
[edit]On the eve of International Quds Day in 2000, the "Society for the Defence of Palestinian Nation" declared its existence as a non-governmental organization in Iran with the efforts of a group of sympathizers, concerned and interested in Palestinian issues and resistance. According to the third article of the constitution, the mission of the community is to pursue the demands of the Palestinian people in international forums for the realization of the material and spiritual rights of the Palestinian nation and the trial of Zionist criminals in competent forums and to confront the conspiracies of global Zionism and its international supporters, especially the American government.[1]
