Jamal Shah Hosseini, one of the retired employees of Niavaran Palace, also says about the capture of this complex: On the 22nd of Bahman, two tanks were standing in front of Niavaran Palace. We came with one of Niavaran’s children (Akbar Beshravieh), who was later martyred, and replaced the pictures of the Shah with the pictures of the Imam. The Immortal Imperial Guard did not shoot at us either. Later, when we captured the palace, the guards were afraid to run away in military uniforms, so we gave them private clothes so they could leave the palace. In 1365, the doors of the Niavaran Palace Museum were opened to the public, and the first trustee of the palace property was Ahmed Niavaran, an employee of the Ministry of Culture and Guidance. Ali Gorji, one of the eyewitnesses to the capture of Niavaran Palace, says about this incident: I was 16 years old at the time, and later I became the head of the security unit of Sahibqraniyeh Palace.
