Keep the Frame Right

My friends and I [Mohammad Hossein Matiei] was involved in the reproduction of the declaration. According to the anti-Savak pamphlets that Mr. Gholamreza Malik, one of the employees of the [Arak] machine factory, gave us to study, the number of people to do this work should be limited so that if one person was exposed, he would not have the ability to expose the others.

Student Declaration against Resurrection Party

In the 1974, we were in high school when the Shah announced the establishment of the Resurrection (Rastakhiz) Party. At that time, there were two radio stations operating in Iraq that reflected the voices of the fighters; one was the voice of the militant clergy and the other was the patriotic radio. We always used to listen to this radio in the evenings. Later, we found out that militant clergy radio was started and managed by Mr. Mahmoud Doai.

Consequences of the Speech at the Ceremony of Lieutenant General Zargham

Time was passing slowly and every day brought a new incident for me, until one day I was summoned to the office of the head of the Taibad Security Organization, Mr. Sharfi. It should be noted that they said SAVAK has a wide range and is very powerful. Anyway, they wanted me. When I went to his office, he was quite respectful.

Bloody Muharram

There were staunch supporters of the Shah in some cities and if a revolutionary thing was carried out in Najafabad, we were sure that we would have problem in passing the town. If a passing car did not have a photo of the Shah on its windscreen, they broke the windscreen with stones. We also preempted and kept a two or five-Toman Shahanshahi bill on the windscreen. In the last one or two years of the Pahlavi's rule,

Teach the Servant of the Mosque

One of SAVAK's tricks was to crush the comrades’ resistance in any way and invite them to cooperate with him; both with violence and intimacy. One day I was also invited to work. It was eight o'clock in the morning. When I entered the door, the interrogator was sitting and got up to respect me and said: "Hello, Haj Agha. are you all right? God willing, I'm sorry that you had a bad time during this time.

Memoirs of Palestinian physician from Tel al-Zaatar

Whenever the fuel oil was delivered to us, we started the water engine and drew as much water as possible from the well. The well water was tasteless. But anyway, there was water, water... that day I decided to visit the hospital in the daylight. I chose a way to reach the hospital. Mamdouh was also with me. Suddenly we found ourselves in a new area. Among the ruined houses, the bullets of enemy snipers

Kokab Hatami and Her Revolutionary Activities

Through the advice of my teacher, I was engaged in charge of the high school library and I spent hours there after the classes were over. One day, I met a girl named Fateme Seyedi, and after a few conversations, I realized that I have a lot in common with her intellectually. In the following days, she would bring me handwritten pamphlets, which had a lot of information about the oppression of the people.

Daily memoirs of Martyr Gholamreza Sadeqzadeh

6th of Azar 1360 (November 27, 1981)

An example of this is my presence tonight in Choolanieh trenches located around Soosangerd. Last night, I talked to Fahim in Tehran - our house. The first few minutes were spent just listening to his laughing and giving him a few laughs. I forgot all what I had prepared to say - especially when I heard that the two percent chance of seeing the Imam had increased to one hundred percent.

I always had a transistor radio with me to listen to the news. But which news? The news comes true. Do we hear the news? No, we make them, we create them. but... The enemy started bombing earlier than usual. Having distanced thirty-two attacks that were repelled by our devotees, we were waiting to face another attack on another day. The air downstairs was really stifling. The wounded were lying on the ground. The beds were all filled.

Loss of Memory in Pahlavi Prisons

In total, [I was in prison] about 6 years in two arrests. For the first time after several years, a soldier arranged my escape. I do not know why! Maybe he was one of the influential elements of Islamic groups. They took me to the hospital for the treatment of my hand, which was broken due to the callousness of an officer.

Hajj Pilgrimage

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.

Programs of New Year Holidays
Without 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! We were just started having it when the plane dives, we go down and shelter behind the runnel, and a few moments later, when the plane raises up, we also raise our heads, and while eating, we see the high sides ...
