Most of the time people gathered in Saat Square and started their demonstrations. Directions of demos often ended in Shahpour T-junction, Pahlavi Street and Mojasameh Square. I also wanted to participate in demos and my older brother read this into my eyes. One day, he let his eye rest on me when he was preparing to go out. Stretching his hand to me, he said, "Just on this condition that you promise not to gain distance from me!" I nodded happily and went along with him. I was dragged about streets like a drop along with the wave of crowd. I also saw Sheikh Saeed Asghari Niari, when we passed Mirza Ali Akbar mosque. Mirza Ali Akbar mosque and Haj Mirsaleh mosque were centers of fighting and a gathering place for the people. Ayatollah Moravej and Ayatollah Masaeli were prayed in these mosques and preached from the pulpit.    |
