In the city of Qain, I used to write notices and make stencils of the Imam's leaflets that arrived and distribute them with the cooperation of one of my comrades. That is, if he raped two people, the case would be exposed. We insisted on no more than two people. In the years before 1978, it was really difficult to prepare and distribute the leaflets. The way we implemented it was great, and that was by mailing letters. We mailed the Imam's notices, which were printed by the Muslim forces here [Qom] and in Tehran, either from Shahroud or from Sari.

We had formed groups whose job was only to go to a city (for example, Sari) and post notices from there to the imams of the congregations, militant educators, etc. all over the country.

Mr. Abbas Ali Natiq Nouri, who was martyred on the 7th of July, was one of the agents of this organization. We gave them the leaflets in Tehran and they posted them in the city.

Challenges of Interviewing in Oral History

After years of studying the theoretical foundations of oral history, conducting numerous interviews and going through their post-interview stages, as well as reading the available body of oral history literature, I was eventually given the opportunity to evaluate the edited versions of dozens of oral history projects.

Comparing the Narratives of Commanders and Ordinary Combatants in the Sacred Defense

An Analysis of Functions and Consequences
The experience of the Sacred Defense cannot be comprehended merely through statistics or official reports; what truly endures from war are the narratives of those who stood upon its frontlines. These narratives, however, vary significantly depending on one’s position, responsibilities, and lived experience.
