On September 2017 on the fourth anniversary of Ashraf massacre, in a ceremony in the presence of a number of international personalities and a large group of PMOI-MEK members in Tirana, Iranian Resistance’s President-elect Maryam Rajavi said: “The mass execution of PMOI members was the hidden half of the regime’s retreat in the nuclear talks and the JCPOA. Before the start of the talks with P5+1 and signing of an agreement in November 2013, the regime resorted to the massacre in Ashraf…the massacre in Ashraf, however, does not fade in the past. Like the 1988 massacre, it is directly tied to the Resistance, and freedom and human rights in Iran. The dossier on Ashraf must be opened, and Khamenei, Maliki and others involved in this massacre must face justice.”
