Works on foreign POWs to be collected
According to a call for works about prisoners of war of foreign countries, the specialized Azedegan library will collect works on the POWs of other countries.
IBNA: The library opened last week in the Islamic Republic of Iran to preserve books and references on war prisoners. It is primarily focused on the Iran-Iraq war prisoners but has decided to gather works on prisoners of other wars in the world. The scheme is aimed at drawing comparisons on detention conditions of the POWs in different countries.
The library began its work with 1000 books in Persian, English and Arabic.
The resources in the library are categorized based on the detention centers. For example, if one happens to be interested in prisoners of the Mussel concentration camp can easily assess his desired resource in the Mussel section.
Moreover, abstracts are being written on the books for better research access.
Overall, 600 book titles have been released in Iran on POWs.

I went on a Hajj pilgrimage in the early 1340s (1960s). At that time, few people from the army, gendarmerie and police went on a pilgrimage to the holy Mashhad and holy shrines in Iraq. It happened very rarely. After all, there were faithful people in the Iranian army who were committed to obeying the Islamic halal and haram rules in any situation, and they used to pray.A section of the memories of a freed Iranian prisoner; Mohsen Bakhshi
Programs of New Year HolidaysWithout blooming, without flowers, without greenery and without a table for Haft-sin , another spring has been arrived. Spring came to the camp without bringing freshness and the first days of New Year began in this camp. We were unaware of the plans that old friends had in this camp when Eid (New Year) came.
Attack on Halabcheh narrated
With wet saliva, we are having the lunch which that loving Isfahani man gave us from the back of his van when he said goodbye in the city entrance. Adaspolo [lentils with rice] with yoghurt!
