Kermanshah; Mersad operation

He Was a Traitor

The specialized forces that were sent to Kermanshah in the Mersad operation, were there either to complete the plan and carry out the mission or voluntarily. We were a paramedic team that was sent from Tehran to Kermanshah on a voluntary basis. When we arrived in Kermanshah, we settled in one of the hospitals. The general surgery team came voluntarily from Shiraz University and the brain surgery team came from Mashhad University.

Warning for avoiding superstitions

On the night of the same day that the Shah had escaped, a number of my friends came to me to make a decision about the rally that was going to be held the next day. Different people were present in the meeting and it was decided that no logos or signs of any group, party or organization would be shown in the rally. Of course, our main concern was the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization on whose behalf several students had also participated in the meeting.

She approached me with a look of apprehension on her face. She probably doubted she could do such a thing. Finally politeness overcame her reluctance, and she wrapped her chador around her waist.
