Mohammadali Rajaee was born in a middle class and religious family in Ghazvin City in 1933. He lost his father at the age of 4 years old. His family moved to Tehran after some time. In order to earn money for his family to make a living, Mohammad-ali had to quit education. He was a salesman on streets of Tehran. He joined the army after a while. He also continued education and received diploma in Mathematics. He further left the army due to religious reasons. He started work as a teacher due to his interest in teaching; but he didn’t quit studying. He continued education in university and received MA in the course of “Statistics”?. He married in 1962 and had three children. He fought with Pahlavi regime very actively. He was imprisoned for two times. The second time he was kept in prison for two years. He was tortured during all these two years. And it was the longest torture time among prisoners before Islamic Revolution. Rajayee was assigned as the prime minister after victory of Islamic Revolution and forming the government. He was a popular prime minister who lived in a very simple way. His life has no difference with ordinary people’s lives. It was the reason that people elected their popular prime minister as the President in 1981. He showed oppression and truthfulness of Iranian people in a visit to United Nations. The blind- heart “Monafeghin”? (It means hypocrites and it was said to a party that fought against Islamic Republic of Iran) could not stand his existence. He was martyred by “Monafeghin”? on August 29th, 1981 when only 20 days passed since his presidential period. He was martyred with his old companion, Dr Mohammad-javad Bahonar.
