NCRI – A group of Iranian activists from south-east Iran have penned a letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, imploring him to seek criminal charges against the mullahs’ regime for their part in the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political prisoners.
The activists from Sistan and Baluchistan Province wrote an open letter to the UN Secretary General on August 13, declaring that the regime “takes pleasure” in the murder of opposition activists, and if the international community does not hold them to account, the bloodshed will only multiply.
Their statement read: “The mullahs’ regime has been condemned 62 times for the violation of human rights, and its President [Hassan Rouhani] with his so-called slogan of moderation and prospect rules as the ‘president of executions.’”
They state that Rouhani and the regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei are dictators whose crimes can be seen across the Middle East including in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. They argue that with the regime in charge, the world will never see peace.
The 1988 massacre, the terrorism exported throughout the Middle East, and the ongoing executions are just some of the reasons why the regime should be brought to justice by the UN Security Council.
More than 30,000 political prisoners, primarily affiliated to the main Iranian opposition group People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK), were massacred in the summer of 1988.
The political and civil rights activists from Sistan and Baluchistan argue that with every single one of them slaughtered, it just adds fuel to the fire of resistance.
They ended their statement with the battle cry, “Long live freedom.”
