Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – November 23, 1989

I reached my office at half past seven. I did the work. At nine o'clock in the morning, I went to the shrine of the Imam by helicopter to participate in the beginning of the Basij week. There were many commanders of bases and districts and they expressed passionate feelings. I spoke briefly to them. I returned to my office. Doctor Habibi came. We discussed current issues and the limits of government sanctions. In the evening, after resting, I felt; My eyes are sad.

I attended the anti-narcotics headquarters meeting with eye discomfort and itchy face. I was in the meeting for two or three hours with discomfort and could not continue working. I went home. Fati was brought from the hospital. She and her son Ali were fine, but due to the possibility of the spread of my eye disease, she refrained from saying the Azan and Iqamah in the child's ear.

Mrs. Dr. Mansourian, who was with Fati, prescribed a drop. Her husband Dr. Abu Saidi came and brought anti-allergic tablets. Then Dr. Jazayeri came with Dr. Hashemi, the head of the Medical Council. They prescribed anti-allergic drops.

At the end of the night, Dr. Ahmadian came and examined him and suggested the possibility of a virus or bacteria. At night, I slept with sadness and Valium tablets. I used anti-inflammatory drops many times. There is a possibility that something spread during the Basij ceremony next to the Imam's shrine.
