About the night when the Imam was arrested and exiled to Turkey, the servant of the Imam Mashadi Husayn who would serve tea had said that the Imam had told the Shah's agents that, "what's all this, why are you creating a mess? Don't you feel ashamed; one of you could have come, knocked at the door and asked Khomeini to come out and well, I would have come out!" later the Imam himself had told me that: "On the to Tehran when we reached the oil well, I told them that all our sufferings was because of this crude oil and why they were doing this to me. I spoke with them until we reached Tehran. One of them who was sitting next to me wept all the way to Tehran."[1]
[1] Why are you doing this? Sayyid Ahmad Khomeini
