President: Martyrs light up path to just world

Martyrs in the cause of Islam and the Islamic Revolution light up the arduous path to realization of justice, said President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday.

Addressing a gathering of martyrs’ children, the president said martyrs were honorable people who gave their lives in obedience to religious order and proved their sincerity to God.

Martyrs gave their most precious possession — their lives — and by doing so set the example for others to revive and edify the culture of martyrdom among nations.
