NCRI – On orders of the Iranian regime’s president, Ahmadinejad, Khavaran Cemetery, the burial site of executed political prisoners, has been destroyed, with gravestones broken and trees uprooted.
The Secretariat of the National Council of Resistance of Iran revealed in a statement on August 30, 2005: The anti-human regime intends to convert the Khavaran Cemetery in east Tehran and the site of mass graves of victims of the 1988 massacres, to an ordinary cemetery and destroy evidence of the killings of 30,000 political prisoners affiliated with the Mojahedin and other political parties. The task was put on Ahmadinejad’s agenda sometime ago by Khamenei, the regime’s leader, when Ahmadinejad was still mayor of Tehran.
The Iranian Resistance calls on human rights organizations, families of martyrs of the 1988 massacres, and all human rights advocates across the world to condemn this criminal act.
