From Turmoil to reaction

The event of January 26, 1982 in Amol is one of the greatest politicalsecurity events after the victory of Islamic Revolution that was concurrent with the Imposed War. At the time that the military forces of Baseej (volunteer soldiers) and Sepah (Islamic Revolution Guards Corps) were fighting in the western and southern fronts with Iraqis and Kurdish antirevolutionary forces, a group of Ettehadiyyeh Komonist-haaye Iran (Iranian Communist Union) or Sarbedaran who were China’s Mao followers, after the events of June 19, 1981, and abdication of Bani Sadr from presidency, changed their approach from political phase to the military and took arms. This group chose the strategic town of Amol for its urgent rise, because of the deep forests and rural context and closeness to Tehran. Iranian Communist Union had plans to occupy Amol and other cities of Mazandaran and then go to Tehran and demolish The Islamic Republic System; however they faced with urgent reaction of Amol people on January 26, 1982 and could not achieve their goals.
