Asadollah Ljevardi was born in 1314 in the south of Tehran to a kind and religious family. From the very beginning Seyd Ali Akbar made his dearest child familiar with Quran and Ahle Beyt. In 1320 Asadolah entered to the world of science and general knowledge. His teens and education at high school was simultaneous with Jewish operation in Palstine and Iranian people's demonstration with Ayatollah Kashani's leadership. Seyd Asadollah finished Arabic literature and science of Hoze in Sheikh Ali mosque and due to his intelligence and high understanding; he interpreted Quran in that place and after a while he took part in Professor Moteharri's sessions of debating about human and destiny. During these years, he chose a patient companion for continuing his struggle and according to Emam Khomeini's order, with Dr. Beheshti and Professor Motehari, he decided to form a coalition in order to struggle with the despotic regime and became one of the main founders of Islamic Coalition Society. He was arrested in the process of Hasan Ali's terrorism and sentenced to 18 months of Tadibi imprisonment and in Savak's questionnaire wrote: "I love Quran and Nahjolbalaghe." His insistence on not revealing his activities severed his punishment to 18 years.
This period was simultaneous with the change in Monafeghin's ideologies and Lajevardi was the first person who announced their deviation. Because of this, Mojahedin Khalgh boycotted him in prison and this period is remembered as "prison in prison". Finally, he was freed from prison in 56/5/27 and then he was summoned to Savak. Lajevardi participated in committee of Emam's welcome during the climax of revolution and after the victory of revolution, he was appointed as the prosecutor general of Islamic Revolution but after a while, he took charge of prisons and moral measures.
Producing various workshops in prisons and struggling with illiteracy among the prisoners were some of his endless efforts during his presence. During the cruel attacks of Baasi regime to our country, he went to battlefront and defended the borders of our Islamic country with other combatants like a real Basiji. Lajevardi resigned from his position and started working in Bazaar of Tehran and once more, bazaar witnessed the presence of a man who was not dependent on this world and its belongings. Finally this devoted lover in Jafari Bazaar of Tehran was martyred by Monafeghan. His holy corpse was buried in Behesht Zahra in Marghad 72 Tan.
The following lines are a part of this great martyr's memories with "Hashemi Rafsanjani" during the honorable struggle with the cruel Pahlavi dynasty:

Political Activities

With starting of 1340s, after suppression of the opponents of the regime like Jebhe Melli and Emam Khomeini's banishment to Turkey and Najaf and Iraq, there was no way for the opponents of the regime either to extend their struggles out of borders of the country like Mellion or to struggle secretly like Mazhabiyoon. During this period, Lajevardi after his freedom carried on his secret activities against the regime in 1345 like other members of the Coalition Society.
Despite all surveillances and cares till 1348, there was no report about Lajevardi. In the middle of KHordad 1348, Savak revealed 316 reports about a person who was called Lajevardi who held meetins on Sundays and Sheikh Ali Akbar Rafsanjani lectured in those meetings. Savak introduced Lajevardi- a member of Islamic Coalition- as the leader of the operation. Naser Moghaddam also guessed that this Lajevardi had to be the same "Asadollah Lajevardi" who had had harmful activities and background in the past, so he requested his agents to search about this event and by using the source of 2002, penetrate to the sessions and find why Sheikh Ali Akbar Hashemi who was not permitted to lecture, lectured there.
The presence of such a fighter like Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani and not being permitted to take part in the sessions, were signs of Lajevardi's and his friends' political activities. Savak didn't take measures in this field probably due to not finding more information about these sessions.

Narration of the Verdict in Prison

Eighteen-year sentence of Lajevardi was simultaneous with the publication of the declaration of Mojahedin Khalgh's ideological change. "Taghi Shahram", leader of the organization, after analyzing the continuous strokes to the organization and its failure, came to the conclusion that religion without Marxism and Leninism in its texture, couldn't move forward. The only way out for him for getting rid of the collapse of the organization was the complete blending of Marxism and Islam and he necessitated the change of beliefs for all members. Publication of this declaration had an extensive reflection among political forces. A deep fission appeared in the organization and most of the religious forces negatively positioned about this change.
In such an atmosphere, the Olamas and Hojjatoleslams decided to purge the non-Moslems of communists and Elteghatiyoon, because with the blending of these two, a pure Islamic struggle couldn't be formed and secrets and plans of hidden struggle couldn't be kept. But this measure had to be done without violence to prevent the regime from taking advantage. The solution was the separation of Moslems from communists.
Mojahedin organization was attractive and impressive among prisoners owing to its firm establishment and solidarity. This organization had raised the issue of mutual life which was more in favor of Marxism. Marxists believed that prisoners had to have a mutual life because of their common goals; therefore they washed and used their dishes and clothes together. They had this excuse that they had to throw away these features of bourgeoisie and they believed that belonging an item of clothing to one person is a characteristic of capitalism and bourgeoisie.
In this close intimacy among pagans and Moslems, communist thoughts were injected to them and even they did not believe in them, they were impressed by communists' political beliefs so they would remain far away from Islam. So men such as: Montazeri, Mahdavi Kani, Anvari, Rabbani Shirazi, Tleghani, Hashemi Rafsanjani, Maadikhah … announced that the communists were Najes (filthy) and had to be separated from Moslems. The text of this verdict was kept by religious combatants and was conveyed to other. So it became famous as "the narration of verdict".
