“The students in abroad have structured the foundation and basis of the Unity of
Islamic Association in Europe which was one of a powerful pivot arm both for the Islamic
strugglers and the leader, Imam Khomeini.”
In the first chapter, the topic is “12th meeting” held in Germany. We can read:
“It is hoped we go toward light by the Unity and the belief to change our minds that we
are able to do everything with the best potential during this black period which has
broken the human and social relationship not only in general and particular
in the Islamic societies.”
The second chapter is about “Dr. Shariati’s Lamentation” in which students in abroad had held the fervent ceremonies for his death introducing him as an illustrious struggling person. Such reports were published in the most foreign journals condignly.
The third chapter is titled “the Bazargan’s Letter” which emphasizes on the students’ struggles out of the country and the Unity’s effort to publishing the related reports widely and comprehensively.
In the fourth topic, there is a statement that had been published by the Unity, concerning the news of students’ food-strike in Paris after inhibiting and imprisoning the clergies.
In the last chapter, the writer has a glance on the Paris food-strike and he concludes:
“The study of current documents, meeting pictures and other data which had been prepared
and supplied show the fact that the food-strike in Paris in 1356 (1978) located in Saint
Mary church was a common work from the Unity of Islamic Association in Europe and the clergy.”
Bagheri-Nezad states about the publications of the Unity of Islamic Association in Europe:
“The cultural activity in the Unity in the 12th meeting such as the other last meetings
was significant not only for the board of directors but also for the members. Increasing the potential activities during 1355-1356 (1977-1978) was not preventing
the Unity from acting the cultural publications and it was not inhibited in this regard.”
