Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – September 24, 1994

A group of families of several martyrs came. Mr. [Mohammed Hasan] Rahimian, [President of Martyrs Foundation], gave a short speech and I gave them a long and condolence speech. The governor and representatives of Ilam province came. They reported the works, plans and needs and requested for the speed of implementation of important water and soil projects.

Mr. [Sidabolfazl] Musvitbarizi, the former prosecutor of Kalkshuramad. He complained to Mr. [Mohammed] Yazdi, [Head of the Judiciary] that he accepted his resignation quickly. In the evening, Mr. [Mohsen] Qaraeti, [head of the prayer service and head of the literacy movement] came. He gave a report on the measures taken to promote prayers and asked for help in the administrations for the spread of early congregational prayers and asked for help for more work in literacy.

Mr. [Sidabrahim] Raisi, [the new head of the General Inspection Organization of the country] came. He gave explanations about the inspection of the whole country and got my opinion and asked for better and more work. I told them to act carefully and refrain from publicity and noise, and the positive and negative should come together in the reports.

At night, I went to the residence of Saad Abad to participate in the family banquet of the Gaddafi family. His wife and two sons and daughters are his relatives. From our side, there were family members except Mohsen. We had normal greetings and conversations. We had dinner and took a souvenir photo. We returned home.

They are not in a good mood; A kind of deep concern is evident in them; Maybe it is because of the international sanctions and concern about their own future. They asked me that with the help of Egypt, we should try to give the possibility of flying to Libya to Islamic countries. It is strange that they think that Iran has such influence.
