Invasion of the school
The tragedy of invasion of the Feyziyya school played an important role to disclose the nature of Pahlavi regime and the formation of the Islamic movement. The invasion happened on March 22, 1963 which fell on martyrdom anniversary of Imam Jafar al-Sadiq who was a significant figure in the formulation of Shia doctrine. Adoption of the bill of the state and provincial associations, the White Revolution, and a six-point program of reform calling for land reform made clergyman irate and led to increase their protest. Hence Khomeini announced the new year of 1963 as public mourning. There was a meeting in Feyziyya school while the Shah took an armored column to Qom and killed or injured a lot of clergy and students. A number of students were thrown down from the high school roof, the students rooms were despoiled and they were fired.



Khomeini's sermon
On the afternoon of June 3, 1963, Ashoura, Khomeini delivered a speech at the Feyziyeh school in which he denounced the Shah as a "wretched, miserable man", and warned him that if he did not change his ways the day would come when the people would offer up thanks for his departure from the country. The population in the rite were to such an extent that all Feyziyeh and Daralshafa’ courtyard, the courtyard of the shrine of Fatimah al-Ma‘sumah, the Astana square and the surrounding were full of peoples. Two days later, security men and commandos assaulted on Khomeini's home in Qom and arrested him. They hurriedly transferred him to the Qasr Prison in Tehran. Following this event the uprising of 15 Khordad was formed.
