In 1988, based on a fatwa issued by Khomeini, 30,000 political prisoners, over 90% of whom were members or supporters of the PMOI, were massacred.
On the anniversary of Khomeini’s death, the inhumane figure, rebellious youths carried out 25 operations in Tehran and 20 other cities—including Mashhad, Tabriz, Najafabad, Gorgan, Shahr-e Rey, Lahijan, Genaveh, Shooshtar, Langarud, Sib of Baluchestan, Eslamshahr, Shahreza, Takestan, Shahr-e Kord, Neyshabur, Izeh, Masjed Soleyman, Urmia, Azadshahr, and Bojnurd—setting fire to centers of repression and looting, as well as symbols of the clerical regime.
In 1988, by the decree of Khomeini, more than 30,000 political prisoners—over 90% of them members and supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK)—were executed for refusing to renounce their beliefs. In July 2024, Javaid Rehman, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran, classified the 1988 massacre as a crime against humanity and genocide.
In these courageous operations, the following centers were set ablaze:
- Two Basij bases of the IRGC in Langarud and Sib of Baluchestan
• The State Security Force (SSF) headquarters in Najafabad
• The Judicial Organization of the Armed Forces in Gorgan
• Two regime-affiliated plunder and repression centers in Shahr-e Rey and Lahijan
• A government repression center known as a seminary in Mashhad
• A regime torture and repression center in Genaveh
Additionally, IRGC banners in Urmia; symbols of the IRGC Basij informant network in Tehran, Azadshahr, and Bojnurd; and government banners and posters bearing the ominous images of Khomeini, Khamenei, and Qassem Soleimani were set on fire in Tehran, Shushtar, Eslamshahr, Urmia, Gorgan, Shahreza, Takestan, Shahr-e Kord, Neyshabur, Izeh, Tabriz, and Masjed Soleyman.
