#Iran-Massacre of political prisoners in summer 1988
The Iranian regime carried out the most ruthless massacre of political prisoners in Iran’s modern history, genocide by the definition, under the direct order of Khomeini. The purpose of this horrendous crime was to confront the regime’s defeats in its 8 year war with Iraq. This plan was in preparation for many years and implemented by the ‘Death Committee’. Currently, Khomeini’s successors have begun a new crime to once again rebuff the existing crisis of the regime. The Iranian regime’s judiciary chief has issued 1120 death sentences and due to international revelations and human rights condemnations, this issue is on hold anticipating Khamenei’s personal admission. (Nedaye Sabz Website, 9 August 2010 – The Nedaye Sabz Azadi reporter has learned the judiciary chief has written a secret letter to Ali Khamenei asking for permission to execute 1120 prisoners.)
Tehran and prisons like Evin and Gohardasht were the epicenter of this killing spree in 1988. The regime’s ‘Death Committee’ was obligated to employ this crime against more than 30,000 political prisoners in Iran’s prisons. The members of this committee are currently sitting in high posts in Ahmadinejad’s government. No prison, city or village was exempted from this massacre. The ‘Death Committee’ visited each and every prison and determined the fate of every single political prisoner and PMOI supporter. After 22 years, the dimension and mysteries of these horrific killings, neither in magnitude nor in manner, have not been revealed.
Thousands of families in Iran are still unaware of their loved ones destiny. The Iranian regime has never to this day informed the families of the thousands of political prisoners that were executed and buried in mass graves across the country. The prisoners’ names and specifications were all registered, each of them having received jail sentences. Many of the executed prisoners had finished serving their jail sentenced yet the regime had refused to release them. According to witnesses (who are ready to testify in any international courts) from inside the prisons, in some nights 350 prisoners were sent to the gallows. For example, the head of Mashhad’s Vakil Abad Prison said during a telephone call, “Those in Mashhad’s prison have been finished off.”
