The 15 Khordad Uprising is a public holiday in Iran, and it falls on the 15th day of the Khordad month, which is the 3rd month of the Iranian Hijri calendar. In the Gregorian calendar, it is usually June 5 each year.
The 15 Khordad Uprising commemorates the anniversary of the public uprising against the arrest of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini on June 5, 1963, after he made statements against the Iranian Shah.
Thousands of Khomeini's supporters went on the street against the Shah of Iran following Khomeini's arrest. The Shah regime attacked the people and brutally suppressed them, and hundreds of people were killed or wounded in the uprising.
In 1979, Khomeini led the Iranian Revolution which overthrew the Shah's rule and established the Islamic republic.
