We must be Awake while You Are Asleep
We wanted to set an exhibition, and I got a mission to come to Nasser Khosro Street, Haj Naib alley, where most of the publications and religious bookstores were located in there. At that time, the market for these types of books was extremely busy, unlike now, that it is not. Books encouraging struggle were at the top of books read by young people and students.Boycott
A memory from Asadollah Tajrishi
At the beginning of my arrival in Evin Prison, I was taken to solitary confinement as always and after a few days, I was transferred to the public cell. The public cells had been located in two floors. The arrangement of these cells in the cells of 1355 and 1356 was such that on the lower floor, there was a ward ...Why did you get up so soon?
Zhian Panah was one of the elements who prevented the guys to pray which led them to go on strike. Once, I woke up earlier than the deadline, there was a three-story bed, and I was on the third story. There were also good guys in the lower stories.

Higher than gold
Receiving public aids to support the war was a priority for our work in the IRGC. We took advantage of every opportunity to attract public aids. At that time, the cost of accommodation for each combatant in the fronts was 20 thousand tomans and the salary of each IRGC member was 15 thousand tomans.“Internal Reaction” published
Apart from the student activities and massive demonstrations in the years 1352 to 1354 (1973-1975), another part of my activities was the books I was writing myself. Of course, before they turned into books, I used to lend them in the form of nameless pamphlets in university libraries. Many harmful writings or books were taken to the mountains or transferred to other universities, sometimes even abroad.The Account of the Injury of Hassan Ghabeli Ala’a
Reunion with God
They say nearly a hundred bags of blood were transfused into me to keep me alive. I am indebted to all those whose blood flows within me. Nevertheless, they have been kind to me and have disturbed me. Those who attained martyrdom and departed, they became heroes and succeeded in the test of life, while those of us who remain must await the next test.Part of the book “Lurking in Red Rose”
About Martyr Ali Sayyad Shirazi
When he arrived at the Majlis (parliament), some time had passed since the start of the meeting. He felt that in those corridors of the building, the condition of his clothes and appearance burst everyone’s bubble.

In Shahrivar 1350 (September 1971), the SAVAK arrested more than 90% of the members of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) in a night raid. The rest were arrested in the months of Mehr and Aban of the same year (October and November). Therefore, in 1350 (1971), the MKO was dealt a heavy blow by SAVAK.

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

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!
