UN Must Investigate Iran’s 1988 Massacre
In the summer of 1988, the Iranian regime summarily and extra-judicially executed tens of thousands of political prisoners held in jails across Iran. The massacre was carried out on the basis of a fatwa by the regime’s then-Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini.
The facts:
• More than 30,000 political prisoners were massacred in Iran in the summer of 1988.
• The massacre was carried out on the basis of a fatwa by Khomeini.
• The vast majority of the victims were activists of the opposition People's Mojahedin (PMOI, Mujahedin-e Khalq or MEK).
• Death Commissions approved all the death sentences.
• Alireza Avaei, a member of the Death Commissions, is today Hassan Rouhani’s Justice Minister.
• The perpetrators of the 1988 massacre have never been brought to justice.
• On August 9, 2016, an audio tape was published for the first time of Khomeini’s former heir acknowledging that that massacre took place and had been ordered at the highest levels.
• It's time for the UN to investigate Iran's 1988 massacre.
Maryam Rajavi: Granting immunity to the perpetrators of the 1988 massacre must not continue
Friday, August 30, 2019, a conference was held at Paris District 1 City Hall entitled, “Iran: Massacred Human Rights, 31st anniversary of the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in 1988.”
In a video message to Mr. Jean Francois Legaret, Mayor of the First District of Paris, and friends of the Iranian Resistance, Maryam Rajavi said:
The time has come for the international community to end three decades of impunity for the clerical regime’s leaders in accounting for their crimes.
The dossier of human rights violations in Iran, particularly the massacre in 1988, must be referred to the UN Security Council.
Khamenei and other leaders of the Iranian regime must face justice for committing crimes against humanity.
The United Nations must launch an international mission to investigate the 1988 massacre in Iran.
And the world must recognize the Iranian people’s right to resist and fight for the overthrow of the ruling religious fascism.
