"The massacre of the political prisoners of #Iran in 1988 was one of the worst crimes in the post-World War II era. The regime lied to the world. But the truth has come out."

Rep. @RepCohen
"What’s going on in #Iran is still horrific. The actions of the government have been repression against the people’s rights. It’s more important than ever to remember the victims of the #1988Massacre. We must have a free Iran."

Rep. @AngieCraigMN
"I join you to condemn the #1988Massacre. I join the thousands who raise their voices to call justice for the victims. We both have a history of disavowing the terrorism of the regime against the people of #Iran. I will support you."

I’m a co-sponsor of the House resolution that condemns the regime and calls for a non-nuclear #Iran.
I appreciate what you’re doing and stand with you to support your mission.

"#Iran's regime has continued its campaign of terror at home and abroad. They regularly target Iranians who call out their rights abuses. The Iranian regime is the biggest state-sponsor of terrorism."

"Together, we need to support the ongoing fight for human rights in #Iran & speak the truth of the past, including the mass executions of thousands of pol prisoners in 1988. This slaughter was carried out under the order of Khomeini."

"It’s important that we remember who we are dealing with, the mullahs in #Iran, and we recognize that things really have not changed... We saw it last year in the uprisings, and all those young people killed in Iran’s streets."

"In 1988, 30,000 political prisoners were victims of summary executions by the regime of #Iran. We must be protectors of human dignity everywhere. We can’t be on the ground in Iran. But we can do what we can where we are."

"I knew Kazem Rajavi. He belongs in the human rights Hall of Fame. He was assassinated thirty years ago by Ayatollah Khamenei."
