Iran has designated September 2 as the National Day Against British Colonialism to commemorate the anniversary of the martyrdom of the national hero of the struggle against British colonialism, Rais-Ali Delvari.
Born in 1882 in the southern Iranian port city of Bushehr, Rais- Ali organized popular resistance against British forces after the invasion of Iran in 1915 and etched his name in history as an Iranian independent fighter and anti-British colonialism activist.
After British forces took over Delvar, Rais-Ali’s uprising in nearby Tangestan lasted for nearly seven years in order to secure Iran’s independence.
The national hero was shot dead by a traitor on September 2, 1915, at the age of 33, when his forces were staging a counterattack against the invading British forces.
Rais-Ali’s house in Delvar has been transformed into a museum displaying some of his personal items and historic documents, along with various types of guns.
