After Imprisonment
Nearing the first anniversary of the Faiziyyeh massacre,
troops once again occupied Qom, but under strong public
pressure, Imam was released from prison and returned
to Qom. His first speech was delivered at Masjid Azam.

"They call us reactionary. Certain foreign newspapers
are bribed lavishly to say that we are adverse to all
reforms and try to lead Iran back to the Middle Ages.
The Ruhaniyat (Clergy) oppose the adversity the
people suffer here. We want them to maintain the
independence of the country. We do not want them
to be humble servants of others. We do not oppose
civilization nor does Islam. You have violated all laws,
whether human or divine. The radio and television
programs are nerve-shattering. The press poisons
the minds of the youth.

You have here military experts from Israel. You send
Iranian students to Israel. We oppose all these. We do
not oppose freedom for women, but we do not want
women to be made-up dolls for the purposes of men.
Your educational system is at the service of aliens."

Besides disclosing the evil scheming of the Pahlavi regime,
Imam always urged the unity of Islamic nations against
Zionism and imperialism.
