In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
13 (November 4,1978) marks the day of the brutal attack on the Tehran University by the accursed regime, leading to the massacre of many of our beloved students.
The regime, in violation of all apparent signs of civilization and the country's progress, one day attacked Faydiyyah Theological Seminary in Qum and other seminaries throughout the country; on another occasion it attacked Tehran University scholars.
Now, since it is the first anniversary of the attack on Tehran University, it is necessary for the dear `ulama' of Tehran, Qum and the nearby towns to attend the ceremonies at Tehran University for greater solidarity. Similarly, the `ulama' throughout the towns and cities of Iran, should participate in the ceremonies being held on this occasion in any university in any part of Iran. Their presence in the universities was throughout Iran. Closing your ranks with high school and university students as well as the esteemed professors would frustrate the plots to create divisions between these two progressive forces. Our enemies, especially these days, will not let go any opportunity to hatch any plot, and would like to disturb the peace and tranquility of our beloved nation through whatever means possible.
It is for the university and high school students, university staff and those learning religious sciences to demonstrate their power against America and Israel and force them to expel and handover the ousted and criminal Shah so as to once again strongly denounce this grave plot. It is necessary for the high school and university students and staff and those learning religious sciences to safeguard their solidarity and further support the Islamic Revolution. Likewise, it is the duty of the nation to provide solid backing for these two beloved groups.
May God always help all of you? May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you?
Rouhoullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
