Although at the beginning of the movement of Imam, MOSTAFA was with him and beside him, but his presence at the scene of the movement, was a new phase. IMAM`s son cried: They took KHOMEINI.
People gathered in groups around Haji Mustafa in the courtyard of the holy MASOUMEH shrine. Nine o'clock in the morning, holy courtyard was full of people. Various slogans have been heard. Such as Khomeini or death.

Secret agents reported to center: According to information received recently, the son of Ayatollah Khomeini was in contact with influential individuals and opposition. So NASIRI the SAVAK`s chief summoned him to his office and told him that he had suspicious activity and contacts. And warned him not to do any mistake against the regime. But MOSTAFA did not scare and continued his activities to bring back the leader to Qom.
On Aril 1964, king regime released the leader.

Imam Khomeini, in his historic speech before population of nearly six thousand people replied to that act. Also published a declaration and called the capitulation as a document of nation`s slavery. By this speech, government officials became angry and decided to send Imam to Turkey. After departure of leader, MOSTAFA continued his works.
