Political Activities
For a period, he engaged in activities against the regime in some Arab countries. Finally, during the 2500th anniversary celebrations of the Imperial Regime, along with a religious-Islamic organization, he intended to assassinate the Shah, but the matter was revealed and Ali managed to escape. After that, for one year, he worked with a pickup truck between different cities, and his family was unaware of him for a while. Until in early 1978 (CE), he was arrested and transferred to the Ahvaz Guard Detention Center. During the time he was on trial, he was in a common cell. Due to his influence on military personnel and encouraging them to desert the army to join the revolutionary forces, he was transferred to solitary confinement. During that period, he compiled a notebook of his poems.
After a few months, the death sentence for Ghayour Asali was issued, but with the victory of the Islamic Revolution, he was freed along with other political prisoners, and shortly after, along with Ali Shamkhani, they formed the Islamic Association. He, who was a Second Sergeant of the Ground Force of the 92nd Ahvaz Division, joined the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and became responsible for military training for the entire Khuzestan province.
