Ladies in Chains


Istanbul, Turkey - January 7, 2009.

Women in Turkey hold up chains as they mourn during an Ashoura ceremony in Istanbul.

Ladies of Imam Husain's family were chained by the evil troops.

Ashoura, the tenth day of the Islamic month of Muharram, is marked by believers as the day that Imam Husain, the grandson of prophet Muhammad and one of their most revered saints, was killed in the battle of Karbala in the year 680 A.D.
