The first arrest

After the rally of Ashura (in 1975), the police identified those who had fired the Egyptian Circus (in 1973), and Hossein was one of them. The secret police entered the school and captured Hossein at the class.
At that time Hossein, a 16 years old thin little boy, was captured by some corpulent men. They took him home to investigate his room.
When the secret police entered the room Hossein cried and shouted: we say prayers on these carpets, take off your shoes.
And the secret police surprised seeing his bravery and took off his shoes.
