The head of the local AhlulBayt (a.s.) Assembly of the Netherlands stated, “When I came to the Netherlands, the ceremonies, and programs for AhlulBayt (a.s.) were held scarcely, and ten to fifteen Shiites would gather in a house and mourn for AhlulBayt (a.s.). But today, with the blessing of AhlulBayt (a.s.), religious ceremonies are held not only in every city but also in every European village.”

Ayatollah Mohammad Hassan Akhtari appointed Mr. Haider Ghazali Kashi as the representative of Ashura International Foundation in Netherland.
