Seyyed Abdollah Behbahani spent much of his life expressing his political views. His campaigns included refusing to participate in the Tobacco Protest;[1] being dissatisfied with the selection of Ein al-Dowleh as grand vizier;[3] desiring to conclude a solidarity treaty with Seyyed Mohammad Tabatabai; agreeing to fight against the ruler at that time (Ahmad Kasravi referred to this treaty as the beginning of the Persian Constitutional Revolution);[2] circulating the photo of Naus (the Belgian supervisor of the Iranian customs) wearing Islamic scholar clothes at a Masquerade ball and asking for him to be dismissed;[2] seeking sanctuary in Rey after objections were raised to the rise in the price of sugar, and punishing the merchants involved; establishing an assembly known as the Islamic seminary aimed at stopping sabotage by Ein al-Dowleh for founding the house of justice;[2] and emigrating to Iraq as a protest against the failures of the government (this migration is now considered to be a major migration).
