The Islamic revolution is indebted to the struggles of men & women, who by hope & belief, to victory & establishing democracy arrangement instead of monarchy, spent their valuable ages in challenge, & in this way they suffered from different afflictions & tortures. The warriors who all knew that death & hanging is just one step away, but with a decisive intention, challenged in the way of reaching victory independence.
Mr. Assdollah Tajrisi, is of those men who has passed away the troublesome, but glorious courses from the initial formation of challenges till revolution triumph. He is a man who is now passing away his 69 th years of age, a hoard of adventures & events which he has experimented and the heart of monarchy regime. He has had a difficult childhood & juvenescence, from the early youth age, has been chasing Islamic believes, & their confirmation. His great longing & inclination & challenge seeking rest of his life.
After acquaintance with “Sazeman Mojahedin-e-Khalgh” he got their membership, & becomes a mediator between “Rohaniat& Sazeman Mojahedin-e-Khalgh” receives a part of people poorates from “Rohaniat” & delivers them to the Sazeman Mojahedin-e-Khalgh order to more accelerate the armed combats, for this reason, he intends to make arrangements to transit weapons to Sazeman. And in continuation of combat, with his sharpness, as a mediator between “Rohaniat& Sazeman” & god blessed deep comprehending ability, he recognizes the deviation of Sazeman, he does not bear that & stands firm in his believes.
By the captivity of one of the main members of Sazeman Mojahedin-e-Khalgh, Mr. Vahid-e-Afrakhteh, he changes his ideology & becomes a Marxist, the names of all members & mediators are revealed, & in this relation, Mr. Assololah-e-Tajrishi is also captured. He bears all different kinds of tortures & investigations & does not open any lips till after one year in the cruel monarchy court, in a formal trial, with the crime of taking actions against the tranquility of the country & overthrowing the monarchy regime, becomes life sentenced.
With victory of Islamic revolution, he becomes released with other combaters from the “Taghoot” custody & in cooperation with the huge mass God seeking & brave people of Iran, starts activities in the organs of revolution, in order to achieve & reach the aims of Islamic revolution & this continues for years, but later, due to changes that had happened gradually & the political environment & … that had drifted the country from one direction to another, he withdrew from activity & becomes engaged in study & God worship.
Mr. Assdollah-e-Tajrishi, in the old bazaar of Tehran, through Mr. Hassan-e-Abrari, was connecter to Sazeman Mojahedin-e-Khalgh & Ayatoolah Lahuti made contact with Mojahedin through him. Mr. Assdollah-e-Tajrishi after revolution, was appointed as the chief of bazaar committee by Mr. Lahuti’s order, in the cabinet of Mr. Mir Hossein Moosavi, was the counselor of Mr. Abulghasem-e-Sarhaddizade, who was the labor minister, & after that, was the co-adjutant of Mr. Assadollah-e-Lajevardi in prisons organization.
His narration about the challenging years also maintains some points about “Ayatollah-e-Hashmi-Rafsanjani’s” conditions, especially in respect to cruel monarchy regime prison that some chosen ports of it comes as follow.
The core of formation of “Heyathaye-Moatalefeh”
Heyathaye-Moatalefeh was organically formed by the unity of 3 heats in 1963, after the 15 th of khordad adventures.
The people of this party in the current of “Anjomanhae eyalati & velayat” & the shah’s referendum in January of 1963, performed activity & of course, under the leadership of Imam Khomyeni, (God bless him) separately that eventually Imam introduced them to each other at the early spring of 1963 & related them together. From this formation, “Jamiat-e-Moatalefeh-e- islami” appeared.
The control organization responsible, consisted of martyrs Haj Sadegh-e-Amani, Mohammad Sadegh islami, Haj Mohdy Araghi, Mr. Habibollah-e- Lajevardi, Haj Mehdy-e-Shafigh, martyr seyyed Assdollah-e- Lajevardi & some & merchants of Tehran bazaar.
Jamiat-e-Moatalefeh-e- islami had a Rohaniat consulting council, that consisted of martyr mottahari, martyr Beheshti, Hojjatoleslam Anvari, martyr Doctor Bahonar & Ayatloolah Hashemi Rafsanjani.
Moatalefeh in addition of printing & distributing the declarations of maraje & the arrangements of demonstration, propagandas, & meeting, preaching, in scattered way, acted as a settlement in order to carry out the Imam’s orders, did a really effective mission on the activities of 15 th of khorded ( 6 th June 1963).
Also, in performing a glorious welcoming ceremony for Hazrat Imam in 1964, formation of the first armed wing for armed “Jahad” the revolutionary shooting of Mr. Hassan Ali-e- Mansoor, had an effective role.
The first acquaintance with Mr. Hashemi
When I was in the committee custody, they raked me severely & by insistence, they wanted that I reveal all the things.
But, I resisted until the time that Mr. Afrakhte who in fact was my mediator to Sazeman & whom, so to speak, was the sole aware of the secrets of Sazeman drifted & revealed many secrets of Sazeman. So, after this, concealing of the issues, it was impossible for me. But they felt that I am a connecting bridge of Sazeman to Rohaniat & they constantly asked me “what relations do you have with Mr. Taleghany, Hashemi Rafsanjani & Mahdavi-e- Kani”? I that had no connections with them, just concealed. Later on, when in “Evin” prison, they moved me to “Rohaniat” section; I became familiar with these gentlemen.
The analysis of prisoners about the triumph time of revolution
In the year 1978, when I was in “Evin” prison, the thought & the idea of the revolutionists were that by the challenges which taking place in different cities, perhaps it will become successful 50 years later. I, well, remember that when in “Ghasr” & “Evin” prisons, this was the analysis of all the revolutionist children, global armed powers about this regime, the revolution will succeed 70 to 80 years later.
In “Evin” prison, as I was in Rohaniat sector, & such as Ayatollah Taleghani. Lahuti, Montazeri, Hashemi Rafsanjani & some other loamy form mashhad when the talks about the revolution triumph time were there analytical idea was that with these movements done in mashad, Tabriz, Qum, & other places, the revolution will succeed 50 years later, by God’s affection.
It didn’t pass in any minds that victory is near, & only one voice & that only came out of the mouth of Imam who addressed the challenger children & said. Be patient & be confirm, resist, victory is near.
