Shaheed Dr Javad Bahonar,
Born in the city of Kerman in 1933 A.D., martyred Hujjatal-Islam Dr Javad Bahonar, had studied under such peerless scholars like Imam Khomeini, Ayatullah Buroojurdi and Allameh Tabataba'i and had obtained a Ph D. in theology from Tehran University.

His fruitful cooperation with martyr Dr. Beheshti and a number of other outstanding writers resulted in the publication of nearly thirty books and booklets covering many subjects. But in 1976, the defunct Pahlavi regime, seeing that these books posed a danger to its rule, ordered them to be collected and banned.

After the victory of Islamic Revolution, he was made education minister and later he became the country's prime minister. Finally on August 30, 1981, Dr Bahonar, Martyr Rajai, the then President and beloved combatant of Islam together with a number of other brothers attained the exalted position of martyrdom, when a bomb planted in the Prime Minister's office by a hypocrite named Keshmiri, exploded.
