Zanajan - Students grill Moussavi about the 1988 massacre of political prisoners NCRI – Students at the University of Zanjan (northwest Iran) on Monday disrupted a speech by Mirhossein Moussavi, former mullahs' prime minister, and demanded explanations about his role during the 1988 massacre of political prisoners.

Moussavi who acted as the mullahs’ prime minister during that period, has announced his candidacy for the mullahs’ upcoming sham presidential elections.

"Where were you in 1988, and how many people did you kill?" some students asked Moussavi. One placard read "Khavaran's soil is still red," referring to the Khavaran cemetery, where thousands of political prisoners have been buried. The clerical regime is planning to destroy the cemetery in a bid to rid itself of the most important evidence about the 1988 massacre.

Students warned Moussavi that he will be judged by the people and history for his crimes in the 1988 massacre.

In the course of the 1988 massacre more than 30,000 political prisoners, many of whom had already finished their sentences, were sent to the gallows for merely supporting, sympathizing with or being members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI.MEK). They were executed group after group in accordance with the religious decree (fatwa) issued by Ruhollah Khomeini, the mullah regime’s founder.
