Akbar Hashemi's memories - 1999 September 28 - Another hostage taking of European nationals, this time in Zahedan.

Akbar Hashemi's encouragement and Seyyed Hassan Khomeini's analysis for his participation in the 6th Parliament elections on the sidelines of the opening of the World Women's Congress in Imam's Thought and also the visit of Jamshidi, the representative of the 5th round of the Parliament, in the same direction in a separate meeting.

Meeting of the former members of the Spectrum student area of ​​the Islamic Republic.

The two-person meeting between Khamenei and Hashemi has another important point; While the Minister of Information at the time Younsi had announced that Khamenei was planning to pardon the accused of Moj newspaper (which eventually happened), but the leader of the Islamic Republic expressed his displeasure with the contents of Moj newspaper during this meeting and denied and emphasized the rumor of pardoning them. Meykend has only advised influential groups and individuals not to fuel this story too much and at the same time confirmed that the Ministry of Information brought the second letter of the author of the text, Toba Abbas Nemati, and other significant historical points.

Meeting with Amir Tehrani, Deputy Parliamentary Minister of Information at the time (one of the few times when only one Deputy Minister of Information went to see Hashemi alone, and mostly two people went together) and the report of the interrogators of the accused in the Moj magazine case and expressing concern about taking action to save them like the accused of Tahakim The interesting unity and presentation of a strange analysis of the country's situation is very thought-provoking.

And yet another hostage-taking of European citizens, this time in Zahedan.

In the morning, we went from home to the place of the international conference to open the world congress "Women in Imam's Thought". Chastity and Fati were also with me. Before the ceremony, Hassan Agha Khomeini asked me about participating in the [Sixth Parliament] elections. I said, I remain on the same decision as before. He said, your presence on the stage disturbs the balance of currents and changes the situation completely.

Mrs. [Zahra] Shojaei, [Advisor to the President on Women's Affairs] reported and I gave a detailed talk about the position of women from the perspective of Islam, the Quran, and the Imam. Mr. [Syed Mohammad] Mousavi Bejnvardi, the father of Hasan Agha's wife, who is a learned and respected old man, was with him. He said, he has started studying abroad in London for Shia clerics who have come from Iraq.

In the evening, the members of the former student wing of the Islamic Republic Party came. I talked to them about the history of the spectrum and the problems of the spectrum in the Faqih province system and our opinion about the formations, and I answered their questions about the spectrum of [construction] agents and I introduced the presence of agents on the stage as a result of the leadership's policy.

I was a guest of the leader. He is upset with the contents of the Moj magazine about Imam Zaman, and the rumor denied the decision to pardon them and said, I only said not to stir up the issue too much and they said, [Ministry of] Information, the second letter of repentance of Mr. [Abbas] Nemati who asked for pardon. has brought

He is unhappy with the statement of the militant clergy who insulted Mr. [Syed Mohammad] Khatami, [the president], and said that it is too sharp and has neutralized the efforts of the last few weeks to bring the two currents closer together. He said that they had protested against Mr. Natiq [Nouri, Speaker of the Parliament] and he replied that it was done without his knowledge. Their opinion is that it should be compensated somehow.

He said, Mr. [Abbas Waez] Tabasi, [Tulait Astan Quds Razavi], approached him and said that there was no other way to save the next parliament but Mr. Hashemi's participation in the elections. The demands of [Ali] Ezet Begovic, [a member of the Presidential Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina], were raised regarding 13 Jews and rioters; They said, it turns out that he is very important for the Westerners and they probably sent him to Iran.

Today, Mr. Ali [Amir] Tehrani, the Deputy Minister of Information, came and said that the same investigators who were active in the acquittal of Tahkim Vahdat in the chaos [on July 9] of the university, are interrogating those accused of insulting Imam Zaman and are trying to arrest them. also, save

Two letters from them have been addressed to the leader, so that the leader will make a statement and pardon; The leader denied. There is no basis for forgiveness; Although he has seen the letter. gave an analysis that the state of the country, especially information and security, is bad; To convince me to participate in the elections.

In the domestic news, the hostage-taking of a group of European tourists in Zahedan by criminals is important, and the debates and arguments of the left and the right over the statement of the militant clergy community and the sharp response of the clerics and the participation front and student demonstrations against the current. who is responsible for insulting Imam Zaman.
