Early life
Akbar Alami was born in Tabriz in August 1955 to a family from the Jargar region of East Azerbaijan, 10 kilometers from the city of Jolfa, on the border with Nakhchivan, in the city of Hadishahr, Jolfa Province. His father was a railway employee, and his workplace at the time of his birth was in Rudsar. Later he worked Bandar Shah and a year later he was permanently transferred to Tehran. Alami was the first of nine children. He spent his childhood and youth in Tehran and was very active in sports, so much so that, according to him, if he had not entered politics, he would have turned to championship sports.[citation needed]
He left school and was sent to Kerman as a soldier. Following,Ayatollah Khomeini's fatwa on desertion, he deserted the barracks with a weapon and remained a fugitive for some time. This coincided with the height of the revolution. He went to Tehran and, with his friends, formed an armed political and cultural group called "Voice of Truth."[citation needed] On January 28, he was seriously wounded in a street clash and was taken to the women's ward of Shifa Yahya Hospital for about a month to avoid arrest.In 1988, he married a girl from Tehran, and they had a son and four daughters.[citation needed] He continued his education in three fields: economics with a focus on banking (Allameh Tabataba'i University), and law (Faculty of Law - 1987).[3]
Representing Parliament
A'alami was a reformist and critical representative of the Seventh Parliament. For example, in a speech he gave at the office of the National Trust Party in Zanjan on December 27, 2007, he strongly criticized the per,formance of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government and called for a vote of no confidence in him. He accused Ahmadinejad of illegal actions and added that today, as members of parliament, we do not know,[4]
