Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – December 29, 1984

I was at home. Sometimes it snows. At first, Mr. Mohammadi Gilani [Sharia Ruler of Tehran] came. They gave a report on pardoned prisoners; There are about 25 thousand people. Again, the amnesty of prisoners continues. There was talk about the property of [the late Abulfazl] Tulit - which is the property of charity and has been practically given to the Azadi movement. It was decided to think about its proper use. During the lifetime of the late Tulit, these properties were dedicated to charity and I am also a member of the board of directors. We also talked about taxes.

Mr. [Sayed Mohammad] Hashemi, a member of the supervisory council [of Sadaosima], came. It was discussed about the secretary of the council and about securing the opinions of Ayatollah Montazeri. The supervisory council had a meeting. We had a discussion about the quality of dealing with political opponents; It didn't end. Mr. Daago was elected as the secretary of the council for another six months. I gave some gowns to the council members. There was a discussion about the quality of showing non-veiled women in movies. It was discussed about encouraging people to participate in Friday prayers. Recently, the number of participants in Friday prayers has decreased; It has a major political loss.

In the evening, Mrs. Motahari came. He asked for help to broadcast more of Shahid Motahari's lectures on the radio and to prepare a place to sell his books. [Mrs. Shahid Motahari] went to see Mrs. Mahdavi Kony at the heart hospital with modesty.

One of our military planes has been shot down and Iraq claims to have shot down two planes. Usually, Iraq doubles or triples the statistics of its military achievements.
