The Martyred Ayatollah Modarres Narrated by Malek o-Sho'arā Bahār

In 1943, two years after the fall of Reza Shah and its dictatorship, Malek o-Sho'arā Bahār who was one of his opponents that had passed imprisonment and exile during his reign came back to the political arena and during the short term in which the press were less censored wrote a paper in memory of Modarres and his imprisonment and assassination by the Pahlavi regime which was published in Khandaniha. Bahar revealed that painful murder by the Pahlavi Regime, however, showed the regime agents much more sinful than Reza Shah. He had still some fright of the Pahlavi regime in his mind but he was sure that the reader would know the truth from his writing. Historical Studies Quarterly republishes this article which was once published in December 1943 for easier accessibility.
