NCRI – A group of truck drivers from the south of Tehran Province have condemned the mass execution last week of Sunni political prisoners in Iran.
In a statement earlier this week, the truck drivers’ said:
“On the 28th anniversary of the [1988] massacre carried out by the brutal mullahs’ regime, 25 of our beloved ones were executed once again. The mullahs’ regime should know that they cannot tread on the blood of our loved ones. There will come a day that these brutal acts will haunt them and that day is not far.”
We convey our condolences to the families of those executed. We call on the international community and the UN human rights bodies to stand against the crimes of the mullahs’ regime and to bring the perpetrators of these crimes to justice in the international courts.

On August 2, the regime mass executed at least 25 Sunni political prisoners. On August 9 it hanged another political prisoner Mohammad Abdollahi.
Last week, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, described the mass execution of Sunni political prisoners in Gohardasht Prison, carried out on the anniversary of the 1988 massacre of political prisoners in Iran, an appalling crime against humanity. The regime is trying in vain to contain the volatile social atmosphere and popular protests by terrorizing the public, she said.
The time has come for the UN Human Rights Council and the UN Security Council to end their silence and bring the record of the Iranian regime’s crimes before the International Criminal Court. Ali Khamenei and other leaders of the regime as well as direct perpetrators of these crimes must be brought to justice, Maryam Rajavi reiterated.
In the summer of 1988, the mullahs’ regime massacred some 30,000 political prisoners in Iran. The political prisoners were mainly affiliated to the main Iranian opposition group People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK).
