                  regime, this meaning was               and  it  finally  did  go.
                  totally  inverted.  I  mean            That  must  serve  as  a

                  the  ruling  regime  was               lesson for all governments.
                  treating  the  nation  with            (Imam  Khomeini,  1999,
                  allegations, pressure, annoyance,      Vol. 8: 230)
                  torture, imprisonment and

                  similar conducts and the               The Imam Khomeini also
                  defenseless  nation  tried          refers to widespread injustice
                  to evade taxes, shirk every         done  to  the  people  by  the
