30,000 Souls Taken exhibition highlighting young victims of 1988 PMOI massacre |
The Media Express, August 29, 2016 - On Tuesday and Wednesday, August 23rd and 24th, an exhibition in the mayor’s office of Paris’ 2nd district commemorated the 28th anniversary of the 1988 massacre of 30,000 members and supporters of the People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI), the largest single Iranian resistance group.
The event featured posters with portraits of the victims, stating their name, age, and occupation (many were university students), as well as news article from the time and from later revelations about the extent of the killings. Memoranda, including possessions of prisoners who were executed, were laid out around the room. The overall effect was a chilling evocation of the inner lives of the slain political dissidents.
