Tribute to the Victims of 'Cinema Rex Abadan'


In 1977 "Cinema Rex" which is located in the city of Abadan was set on fire with more than 200 people in it watching "Gavaznha". Unfortunailty all of whom that were inside died of fire and smoke. This incident became the spike and centerpiece for the Iranian revolution in 1979. It later became known that the Islamic militant were behind the massacre that was intended to be blamed on "SAVAK" or the Iranian Intelligence Ministry and the Shah's regime. the "Cinema Rex" victims never got justice.
