The mullahs’ regime in Iran has to date executed more than 120,000 political prisoners, the vast majority members and supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, PMOI (Mujahedin-e Khalq, MEK).

The first volume of the ‘book of martyrs’ contains the list of names and particulars of 20,000 members and supporters of the PMOI who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the struggle for freedom from the clutches of religious tyranny in Iran.
The leaders of the clerical regime, including Ruhollah Khomeini, Ali Khamenei, Ali-Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, Mohammad Khatami, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hassan Rouhani and other senior ministers and officials have played a direct role in this massacre.
The compilation of the list of 20,000 martyrs in 1,000 pages was carried out in two stages and took nearly 100,000 hours. The photographs of 4,358 martyrs appear in this book.
Of the martyrs listed, 681 died under torture, 608 were assassinated or were victims of other terrorist plots by the clerical regime. Another 1,736 persons were martyred during operations and clashes. A number of martyrs were beheaded, burned, mutilated, buried alive or thrown from heights. Over 16,000 were executed.
