 #Iran’s genocidal regime executed over 30,000 political prisoners in the summer of 1988. There has been no accountability to this day.

Eyewitnesses & victims’ loved ones share their heartbreaking stories.

 Behrooz Maghsoodi, son of former political prisoners

Three of my uncles were executed from 1981-1988.
I’m very proud of my uncles who chose to stand up against the mullahs’ regime despite the heavy price.

 Razieh Parandak, mother of a #1988Massacre victim

In 1982, [my son] Mehran was arrested for participating in a demonstration & sentenced to six months in prison. Authorities even demanded money in return for information about where he was buried.

Four members of my family were executed during the #1988Massacre. My daughter Nasrin was arrested while she hadn’t done anything. Just because she was my child and I was a supporter of the Iranian opposition MEK.

My aunt is one of the 1988 massacre victims. She was arrested for putting up a few posters.
She was severely tortured & they even amputated her left foot & right hand before hanging her.

Three of my brothers, Behrooz, Bahman & 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 & holding a camera.

 Farah Eslami, family member of a #1988Massacre victim

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

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

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

 Farzaneh Sepehri, family member to numerous #1988Massacre 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.

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

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

 Data from black boxes of Flight #PS752 shows it was hit by two IRGC missiles 25 seconds apart & passengers were alive for some time after the first missile’s impact.

#Iran must release the full report & explain why it launched a second missile.

 On May 20, Ukrainian officials said new evidence showed #Iran’s regime was fully informed of flight PS752 & yet deliberately shot down the passenger plane with at least two surface-to-air (SAM) missiles launched by the IRGC.

Data from the black boxes of Ukrainian flight #PS752 shows it was hit by two IRGC missiles 25 seconds apart & that passengers were still alive for some time after the impact of the first missile.

#Iran must answer why it launched a second missile.
medium.com/@heshmatalavi2…
And it is absolutely disgusting to see @Reuters still report that #PS752 was shot down by a single "ground-to-air missile" & raise the "confrontation with the United States" issue to help #Iran's regime save some face.

reuters.com/article/us-ira…

#Shame
But i'm not surprised at all, as the report is written by none other than Parisa Hafezi (@PHReuters), a known #Iran apologist at Reuters.

And Tehran can always count on @ReutersIran to parrot its message to distance attention away from the IRGC's horrific crime.

#Shame

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.

.@DavidJonesMP of the UK

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.

.@GiulioTerzi

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.
