News Conference in Geneva calling for prosecution of Iranian regime’s officials involved in the 1988 massacre of political prisoners in Iran

By; Siavosh Hosseini
Recent revelations about the extent of the Iranian government’s complicity in major prison massacres in 1988, during which 30,000 political prisoners were killed, has spurred new calls for those responsible–some of whom are still in power–to face trial for their actions.

Ground Report, Sep 26, 2016 - A major goal of the Iranian political opposition has been the prosecution of Iranian government officials who were involved in the 1988 massacre of more than 30,000 ideological dissidents. Similar crimes in Lebanon and Rwanda have been tried by international criminal tribunals; the Iranian resistance has sought the establishment of a tribunal through the United Nations to try those implicated in the massacre.
Following the issuing of a fatwa by Khomeini, 30,000 members or supporters of the People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI, or MEK) were gathered–some being re-arrested after having already served prison sentences–and hanged in groups during six months of systematic executions.
