Online event calling for an int'l probe into the summer #1988Massacre in #Iran

The mullahs executed over 30,000 political prisoners in just a few months. There has been no accountability & many of the perpetrators are in power today.

This year’s adopted [UN] resolution on Iran should include a paragraph calling for an independent international investigation into the #1988Massacre of thousands of political prisoners in #Iran.

The international community in its entirety knew and knows [about the #1988Massacre in #Iran].The United Nations, the UN Security Council, the General Assembly, the UN Human Right Council, they all knew.

Western democracies can no longer ignore the clear connection between the regime’s leadership and their involvement in serious human rights violations like the #1988Massacre.

As the mother of a #1988Massacre victim, I call on the UN to form an independent fact finding mission to study the 1988 massacre, to put an end to their immunity, and to end the cycle of executions in #Iran.

Behrooz Maghsoodi, son of former political prisoners

Three of my uncles were executed between the years of 1981 & 1988... We demand an independent UN probe into one of the most hideous crimes against humanity after the Second World War.

Impunity is intolerable. The grief of the families is profound. This mourning cannot end without [a UN] commission of inquiry, without transparency.

Yahya Shojaee, father of four #1988Massacre victims

Four members of my family were executed during the 1988 massacre. My daughter Nasrin was so brutally tortured that her body was practically torn apart.

The horrible crimes of this regime against the people continue. I call for an international probe into the #1988Massacre. The perpetrators must be brought to justice. We wish for a free #Iran.

Three of my brothers, Behrooz, Bahman and Reza, were executed by the regime. In 1981, it was the last time we saw Behrooz. They told my father he was executed for taking pictures and holding a camera.

Dominique Attias, former deputy chair of the Lawyers’ Guild in Paris

So many people, men & women, were executed. 30,000 were murdered in 1988 & there is complete silence. A total silence while the families need to know.

My parents were political prisoners. In July 1988, they told us we can not visit my father. After 3 months, authorities told ,u grandfather he was executed. They didn’t even tell us where he was buried.

My friends were taken one after another to be executed. Except for me & two others, everyone in Semnan Prison had been executed.

Kirsty Brimelow, QC, int'l human rights lawyer

A tribunal is required to examine the #1988Massacre evidence. If it is not tackled, impunity from 1988 continues to impact & inform human rights violations in the present in #Iran.

Hengameh Haj Hassan, former political prisoner

In one of the prisons they had created cages for the inmates. Every prisoner was placed in a confined area two-feet wide. Any movement/noise would result in brutal torture.

Many of the key executioners during the #1988Massacre, now hold senior positions in the fascist dictatorship. Why after 32 years has no one been held to account for this horror?

Hossein Farsi, former political prisoner, eyewitness to the #1988Massacre

They would form long lines of 50-60 blindfolded inmates and they would be marched to the killing fields. I personally witnessed this.

My aunt is one of the 30,000 victims of the massacre and I carry her name. She had been subject to such horrific torture that a doctor came to tears.

Message of political prisoners in Tehran's notorious Evin Prison—#Iran

The world never found out what happened in the summer of 1988. Impunity has given the mullahs a green light to continue executions and torture.

After 32 years since the #1988Massacre of political prisoners, it is clear that Iranian officials are unwilling to act on the calls of the UN to investigate and reveal the truth.

Fereshteh Behzad, sister of a #1988Massacre victim

My father was summoned by regime authorities thinking my brother was about to be released. They threw a bag of his belongings toward him & said we killed your son.
My father suffered a heart attack.

What has been going on in #Iran and #Syria’s prisons is the killing of tens of thousands of prisoners for their political beliefs. These two governments are beyond the orbit of human civilization.

Reza Shemirani, former political prisoner, eyewitness to #1988Massacre

When they brought someone out of the Death Room and sentenced him to death, they definitely did not let him go back to the others and tell them about it.

Prof Eric David, Emeritus Professor of int'l law at the Université libre de Bruxelles

The #1988Massacre in #Iran is a crime against humanity because it is an attack against a civilian population & perfectly meets the definition of crime against humanity.

Farzaneh Sepehri, family member to numerous 1988 massacre victims

The day my cousin was sent to gallows they brought his mother to see her son being hanged. Afterwards & in utter cruelty, they hanged her as well.

I will continue to stand with you & support the NCRI that works on your behalf until we have secured justice for the victims of the #1988Massacre & brought those responsible for this crime against humanity to account.

Jamileh Gholami, sister to a #1988Massacre victim

My brother was arrested in 1981 under no charges, no evidence, nothing. He spent most of his prison time in solitary confinement under severe torture.

Bijan Zolfaghari, former political prisoner/eyewitness to the #1988Massacre

Only a handful of prisoners survived the 1988 massacre. The regime forced prison guards & clerks, cooks & service workers to somehow take part so they would forever remain silent.

It is important to end impunity. This is why The Hague was established. We want to ensure that there will be no more impunity anywhere for all sorts of criminality & gross violations of human rights.
