Christian: Da conveys valuable experience



28 November 2012

A Christian inmate said she might not have been ended up in the prison had she accessed Da before.

IBNA: According to Soreye Mehr Publishing Institute, a ceremony was held at the detention center of Rey City, Tehran, in the presence of figures like Zahra Husseini, narrator of Da, Merila Zarei, artists and a number of other influential women in Iran.

The ceremony was held on the occasion of the world’s day of books, and was themed at praising winners of the final round of the book reading contest among social activists and inmates of the prison.

One of the winners, a Christian inmate, asserted that the difficulties Zahra Husseini went through according to the book are much more troublesome than what one might have normally experience in their lives, and it might be that if “we had read books like Da, many of us would have never ended up in places like this.”

During the ceremony, 71 inmates, 20 activists and prison staff were honored.

Operation Beit al-Moqaddas and Liberation of Khorramshahr

After Operation Fat’h al-Mobin, we traveled to Kermanshah and visited Sar-e-Pol-e-Zahab before heading to Ilam. During Operation Beit al-Moqaddas, the 27th Brigade was still receiving support from the West. We maintained contact with individuals who had previously worked in Area 7 and were now leading the brigade. It was through these connections that I learned about Operation Beit al-Moqaddas.

By his presence and efforts, Abuzar Mosque soon became a base for supporters of the Imam and the revolution.

The Necessity of Receiving Feedback in Oral History

Whenever we engage in a task, we naturally seek ways to evaluate our performance — to correct shortcomings and enhance strengths. Such refinement is only possible through the feedback we receive from others. Consider, for instance, a basketball player whose shots are consistently accurate; should he begin shooting blindfolded, his success rate would rapidly decline, as he would be deprived of essential feedback from each attempt.
