The main objectives of martyrs’ lives have been the same objective of Imam Hossein in the year 61 A.H. Imam Hossein’s first immigration from Medina to Mecca was for disproving untruth. And his second immigration from Mecca to Karbala was for establishing truth. And this concept is similar to our nation’s motto (No east, no west, Islamic Republic of Iran) and denying ruling of other powers to our country which meant disproving the untruth. And the second action which includes believing in ourselves and independence as well as scientific progresses and other achievements of Iranian nation which are in line with establishing the truth, Commander Bagherzadeh added. In continuation, he said: “The act of martyrs to fight with Saddam was denying untruth. And their return to the nation can be described as establishing the truth.”?

Innocent bodies of unknown martyrs have been buried in 700 places in the country. 70 other places in cities and universities are in the list for burying innocent bodies of martyrs.”? In conclusion, he said: “People’s attention to martyrs is the symbol of continuity of religion in society. And that is like the red Hosseini (Related to Imam Hossein) flag which is the symbol of honor of a nation.”?
