Washing the ~~sanatorium~~ dishes and cleaning the kitchen were voluntary. Some made a vow and to fulfill their vow, they washed the dishes of all the prisoners or the clothes of the sick and elderly. During the first years of captivity, those who volunteered to get food from the kitchen for hungry sick captives, showed insistence on that charitable work in spite of knowing that they were going to get whipped by the guards as they could not bring themselves to sit by and see their brothers starve to death. The job of some servants was to keep watch in the hospital from night to morning in order to take care of the group that had been beaten and wounded by the Iraqi forces.

Servants of captives

Prisoners who unselfishly served their fellow prisoners.

Altruism and self-sacrifice are two words known and approved of by all classes of people, both literate and illiterate, rich and poor, responsible and irresponsible. The people of Iran, when they saw their homeland in danger, sacrificed their lives and property and fought at the frontlines with the aim of preserving the ideals and saving the homeland. From the beginning, they accepted the possibility of martyrdom, captivity and severe injuries and fought against the enemy with all their might to defend their fatherland. The front line was a clear and unique scene of sacrifice and altruism. The warriors who were captured by the enemy knew very soon that they had to keep fighting as captives too drawing on self-sacrifice and altruism. In captivity, they no longer had the right to use weapons and ammunition, and they had to tolerate everything for the pride of the country, and thus, they starved, got beaten, put to drudgery and were tortured for many days. From the first moments of captivity to the transfer to the camp, all the prisoners, both healthy and wounded, were beaten by the Iraqis, but among them there were people who shielded the wounded who had sustained severe injuries.

During the period of captivity, some of the captives made many sacrifices by looking after the sick and injured captives. The prisoners used the term "charity collectors" for these hardworking people. The servants in the camps were not only from a certain class; they ranged from militia and IRGC members and soldiers to clerics and non-clerics, all trying to help their fellow country men.

Services

The services of servants can be divided into the following sections:

a. Selfless services

Such as enduring punishment and torture because of other prisoners who could not endure torture and punishment. Doing some work had a heavy punishment such as execution, but this did not scare the devoted prisoners and they voluntarily undertook these tasks. Keeping many prohibited items would lead to a severe beating and going to jail. Pencils, pens, paper, elements, etc. caused a person to be sent to prison for a long time, sometimes up to a month. But hiding the radio, after torture, had a heavy sentence and might even lead to execution. However, there were prisoners who voluntarily hid these items in the corners of the asylum. They took the risk of getting the news however it was, even by sleeping under the blanket and writing radio news, so that the rest of the prisoners could also be informed about the news of Iran [1].

b. Risky services

These services included things like standing guard so that others could hold their cultural, religious and sports sessions in complete peace. Holding speech programs, teaching Islamic rules, mourning, and especially holding congregational prayers in an environment that was strictly controlled by Iraqi forces had severe consequences. Cutting the food ration was the least punishment. Some of the prisoners took on the duty of guarding so that such programs could be held with less risk.

P. welfare Sevices

Like cooking, laundry, cleaning the sanatorium for other prisoners. Some of them volunteered to look after the sick and wounded, which was difficult , especially for the youth; as it involved things like washing the sputum dishes of patients and the elderly; washing clothes; Bathing the elderly, cleaning their ears, patching their clothes. Some took it upon themselves to clean the sanatorium and the toilet and the pipes of the sewage system, which the Iraqis often neglected, and to fill the [[water]] buckets next to the toilets so that people in worse physical conditions could rest more. In this, even doctors and educated prisoners participated voluntarily [2]. Elderly prisoners who were familiar with agriculture, volunteered to grow vegetables such as tomatoes in the gardens of the camp [1].

Some people volunteered to set up ovens and to run the kitchen. they took charge of everything from cooking food to distributing it. Washing the sanatorium dishes and cleaning the kitchen were voluntary. Some made a vow and to fulfill their vow, they washed the dishes of all the prisoners or the clothes of the sick and elderly. During the first years of captivity, those who volunteered to get food from the kitchen for hungry sick captives, showed insistence on that charitable work in spite of knowing that they were going to get whipped by the guards as they could not bring themselves to sit by and see their brothers starve to death. The job of some servants was to keep watch in the hospital from night to morning in order to take care of the group that had been beaten and wounded by the Iraqi forces.

T. Educational services

The services in question included such activities as holding the Quran classes, reading Nahj al-Balagha, learning foreign languages, etc. With the arrival of educational books of foreign languages such as English, Arabic, French, German, Italian, and Spanish , those interested in the languages in question would refer to captives who knew the languages pretty well and would start learning them wholeheartedly [2].

Th. Health and medical services

Indicated to what some people who were trained in the field of health and treatment, did for the wounded, disabled or sick prisoners. Some people with some medical knowledge and experience in health matters formed a health group , identified the sick ,and helped them by making the camp environment healthy. Due to the limitation of medicine and medical facilities, they nursed the sick captives in every way they could, and at all costs, the good fellows managed to provide medicine to them [3].

J. Cultural-artistic services

Such as copying parts of the Qur'an, Nahj al-Balagha, Mafatih, etc. on paper sheets and distributing them among prisoners for memorization or recitation; holding competitions and entertaining programs; holding national and religious ceremonies, staging plays and song recitals, in order to set the mood of vitality and cheerfulness among the prisoners.

CH. Financial services

Like helping others financially or even working for Iraqis in exchange for money and helping other prisoners who could not work.

H. Sports services

Such as holding sports competitions, teaching different sports and constructing grounds for sports activities. Martial arts were forbidden. If the instructor were caught red-handed , he would be in trouble, and yet the instructors braved every possible danger and taught interested captives indomitably.
