Mohammad Montazeri, son of Ayatollah Montazeri, was in charge of SATJA but after his death in 1981, Mehdi Hashemi took over the group.[5] The major activity of the SATJA and its magazine was to promote Muammar Gaddafi and insult Mostafa Chamran, Musa al-Sadr and Amal Movement.[4]
As of Ronen A. Cohen, the SATJA's brief presence left a long trail that is even expressed in the current sensitive political-religious situation in Lebanon.[2]
