Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – September 6, 1987

Yasser went to the front with Mr. [Akbar] Arabi - our former bodyguard. I read the travel prayer in his ear. Chastity chased him away and gave charity. His Basij clothes were supposed to be brought home so that his mother could cut them to his size, but they did not arrive and became a source of chastity.

On the way to the Majlis, I visited the secretary's house and the center of restoration and binding of the books of the Majlis. The restoration center [Islamic Parliament Library] is modern and good. There are many people's referrals to the [Parliament] secretariat to solve their problems. I arrived at the parliament at half past nine. The families of prisoners and missing persons came. On the occasion of the prisoner's day, the children sang a sad song. I spoke for them.

Our ambassadors and ambassadors came to Islamic and African countries. I gave them a long talk about the need to strengthen relations with Islamic and African countries. Mr. Masih Mohajeri came from Jomohri-e-Islami newspaper. He inquired about the political and military situation.

I told Mr. [Akbar] Turkan to accompany him.

He emphasized that his organization is Islamic and neither Eastern nor Western, saying that they have 70,000 fighters, and that he is against the imposition of the Shah's appearance and the East and West, and that they rely on us and approve our policy. I promised to help.

Mr. Seyyed Mahmoud Hashemi [Shahrudi], the spokesman of the Supreme Assembly of the Islamic Revolution of Iraq, came. He gave the report of the delegation's trip to Saudi Arabia.

It was decided that the answer to the American letter written through the [Embassy] of Switzerland regarding mines and asking not to plant mines in the way of American ships will be given and the American policy will be protested.

Libya's proposal regarding joint mine laying was raised and rejected.
