Protests in solidarity with Justice-Seeking movement for the victims of 1988 massacre

NCRI – Freedom-loving Iranians and supporters of PMOI (MEK) protests in solidarity with 1988 massacre Justice-Seeking movement

On Saturday October 8, a large group of freedom-loving Iranians and supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) in Oslo organized a photo exhibition on the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners (mostly members and supporters of PMOI) in the summer of 1988 in Iran, to expose the clerical regime’s crimes against humanity.

During a speech at the gathering, Amnesty International’s representative in Norway, Ms. Astri Madland, declared her solidarity with the Justice-Seeking Campaign and said: “As the representative of Amnesty International in Lyngdal, I want to emphasize my support for what is written on this paper (Justice-Seeking litigation). Amnesty International agrees with the focus on the issue of human rights in Iran and condemns human rights violations in Iran and the events that occurred there. The International campaign announced that more than 30,000 political prisoners were executed (in 1988) in Iran and I believe that all crimes against humanity must be investigated and the masterminds and perpetrators of these crimes must be brought to justice.”

Concurrently, supporters of the Iranian Resistance in the Netherlands held a gathering in front of the Dutch Parliament in The Hague on Saturday, October 8, to protest the growing wave of executions by the anti-human mullahs’ regime in Iran. Participants declared their solidarity with the Justice-Seeking Campaign on the 1988 massacre of 30 thousand political prisoners in Iran and demanded the trial of the mullahs’ regime leaders for crimes against humanity.

In Canada, freedom-loving Iranians and supporters of the PMOI (MEK) held a demonstration on Thursday 6 October 2016 across the Federal Parliament in Ottawa to express their solidarity with the Justice-Seeking Movement and call for an end to executions in Iran. They demanded the trial of the perpetrators of the 1988 massacre in international courts and urged the recognition and official registration of this crime against humanity in the annual UN Human Rights resolution.
