In a cordial meeting between Ali Amani, head of the Popular Headquarters for Commemorating the Islamic Epic of Bahman 6th and the Amol Forest, and Hamed Fazeli, Director-General of the Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults (Kanoon) of Mazandaran, held at the directorate’s building, the necessity of producing engaging works tailored to children and young people centered on this epic was emphasized.
According to the Specialized Children and Media Association, citing Haraz News, this meeting was held with the aim of expanding cooperation and organizing this year’s Bahman 6th commemoration programs with the utmost magnificence. During the session, Hamed Fazeli, Director-General of the province’s Kanoon, announced the production of short videos specifically tailored for children and young people this coming Bahman and their distribution across online platforms.
One of the primary focal points of the discussion was publishing comic books centered on the student and adolescent martyrs of the Bahman 6th epic, as well as the Mohammadzadeh martyrs, who were adolescent martyrs of the Sacred Defense from Amol County. This initiative is planned as one of the official programs of the General Directorate of Kanoon for Children and Young People of Mazandaran.
Ali Amani, head of the Popular Headquarters for Bahman 6th and the Forest, also announced the upcoming unveiling of a comic book depicting the life of the exalted martyr Gholamhossein Hedayati, one of the Komiteh martyrs in the Islamic Epic of Bahman 6th, in Bahman of the current year. This book illustrates the narrative of one of the Islamic Revolution’s most significant events for young audiences.
Pasdar martyr Gholamhossein Hedayati was born in 1342 in the village of Kherdovandkola to a religious farming family. At the age of 6, he entered school, completed up to the fifth grade of primary education in his home village, and then moved to Amol County to continue his studies.
When the revolution began, he consistently took part in demonstrations and clashes against American mercenaries and the Shah’s regime, mobilizing brothers for demonstrations against the detested Pahlavi regime. Following the victory of the revolution, he served in the IRGC, the Basij, and the Revolutionary Court until the Komiteh was formed, becoming one of its core members.
Among the martyr’s moral virtues was his warm and gentle demeanor; after his martyrdom, everyone praised his admirable character. He spent most of his time serving Islam and the Revolution, and martyrdom was his sole wish. He would consistently say: “Today is our day of testing. Those who say we were not there to heed the call of ‘Is there any helper to aid me?’ of Imam Hussein (AS) should come forward today and heed the call of the Hussein of our era, Khomeini, the breaker of idols. We must defend our revolution tooth and nail.”
To confront the infidel Saddamists, he headed to the Abadan front and served for several months. Then, on Tuesday, 6/11/60, he arrived in front of Imam Khomeini High School and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with American mercenaries, neutralizing one and wounding another. However, godless forest-based insurgents fired a barrage of bullets at him from behind; as the barrage struck him, his exalted spirit took flight toward his Lord and hastened to meet Him.
