Hossein Ali Montazeri, the dissident cleric revealing the most heinous massacre in Iran’s recent history |
An interview with Ayatollah Khomeini’s then-heir, recorded in 1988, reveals the extent of brutality of the Iranian regime in the massacre of more than 30,000 prisoners which took place that year.
“The greatest crime committed during the reign of the Islamic Republic, for which history will condemn us, has been committed by you,” says Hossein-Ali Montazeri in the audio interview. “Your (names) will in the future be etched in the annals of history as criminals. Executing these people while there have been no new activities (by the prisoners) means that … the entire judicial system has been at fault.”
He is referring to the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners, most of them members or supporters of the People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI, or MEK) in 1988 by Iranian security forces. This new evidence indicates that high-ranking Iranian officials were involved or aware of the killings.
On the tape, Montazeri meets with a “death commission” composed of Hossein-Ali Nayyeri, the regime’s sharia judge, Morteza Eshraqi, the regime’s prosecutor, Ebrahim Raeesi, deputy prosecutor, and Mostafa Pourmohammadi, representative of the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS), among others (Pourmohammadi and Nayyeri are still currently high-ranking cabinet members).
At one point, Montazeri states that Pourmohammadi and the MOIS had been aware of the coming massacre months before it took place.
