Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – October 27, 1983

I went to the assembly early in the morning. I read the reports about Behbahan; The situation is very dire. The representatives have signed a letter to take the Iraqi prisoners to the cities located within the range of Iraqi missiles. Before the order, I talked about Saddam's crime; But it is repeated enough, it is insensitive. The representatives were very upset. The bill on the unified advertising system took a lot of time from the parliament and was rejected. Two or three other bills were approved. The impeachment of Mr. Natiq Noori [Minister of the Interior] was also announced with the signature of 51 representatives.

Mr. Hadi and Dr. Rouhani came to the office in the afternoon to discuss Dr. Rouhani's trip to America to participate in the inter-parliamentary meeting and to discuss dealing with Saddam's missiles. Mr. Yunus Mohammadi [Khorramshahr representative] came and withdrew his signature from the impeachment of Mr. Natiq [Nouri]; He is a candidate for the governorship of Khuzestan. Mr. [Mortaza] Mahmoudi, the representative of Qasr-Shirin, came and offered to run as a candidate from Tehran. The Karaj prosecutor came and gave a description of the gang of goods smuggling and arms dealers with abuse, which Mr. [Mousavi] Ardabili had already told a part of.

In the evening, I had a meeting with the students and lecturers of the Faculty of Theology [Tehran University] and Tarbiat Modares [University]. I spoke to them in detail. Mr. [Reza] Mirza Taheri, the head of the environmental organization, came. He spoke about its importance and the government's inattention and complained to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that they do not give political guidance to officials and delegations abroad. Mr. Dashti came from the secretariat of the Juma Imams Council and said that he is also in the secretariat and consulted about the Congress of Juma Imams. I came home at night. I did not participate in the central council of the [Islamic Republic] party. Chastity has gone to Mashhad and the children have gone to a party.
