\"1988-massacre-400-ncri\"<\/p>\n

NCRI –\u00a0Asharq Al-Awsat the world\u2019s premier pan-Arab daily newspaper on Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2016 published<\/a> an article which briefly covers the major events in past 20 days regarding the development and serious effects of an important revelation about the 1988 massacre<\/a> of 30000 political prisoners in Iran. Following is the full text of this article.<\/p>\n

London- Heated controversy sparked-off 20 days ago as a recording for Iran\u2019s Deputy Supreme Leader Hussein-Ali Montazeri surfaced. The recording sounds Montazeri\u2019s loud objection to many of the regime-carried death sentences in 1988.<\/p>\n

Montazeri\u2019s controversial audio file had unearthed Iranian cases before the public, especially those concerning the thousands of executions against political activists.
Top officials in Iran now are driven into a tight corner, as Montazeri\u2019s comments had fueled public agitation against the regime in light of the nearing of the day commemorating the served deaths.<\/p>\n

Rouhani\u2019s administration, self-labelled as a beacon of \u2018hope and moderation\u2019, had been rendered tongue-tied as reports reveal officials responsible for former collective executions being assigned to top posts in his government.<\/p>\n

Rouhani\u2019s supportive bloc had also played a major role in the killings, with that being revealed, followers who self-identify as \u2018moderators\u2019 were short to shocked.
Iran\u2019s parliament has directly been affected and received it fair cut of argument and criticism against what is coming to be named the summer of mass executions. Second Deputy of the Parliament of Iran Ali Motahari had addressed the current minister of justice, who was a member from the 1988 \u201cdeath commission\u201d which authorized the massacre of Iranian prisoners, Mostafa Pourmohammadi asking immediate clarification on what had been accounted for in Montazeri\u2019s recording.<\/p>\n

The recording, declassified and made available on August 9, shows that Montazeri\u2019s objection to the executions had ended with him being canned from his post as Deputy Supreme Leader during the same year, and months only before Ruhollah Khomeini \u2013former supreme leader- had died.<\/p>\n

In the recording, Montazeri meets with four other officials responsible for implementing the executions, and he condemns the executions as he sees them unconstitutional and warns that the deaths will bring about a dark mark to Khomeini\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe greatest crime committed during the reign of the Islamic Republic was executing by fire squads 6,000 political activists. This reign carried out, in its first years only, more executions than during the Pahlavi regime,\u201d Montazeri says in the recording.<\/p>\n

\u201cHistory will remember Khomeini for a bloodthirsty leader and a murderer.\u201d<\/p>\n

No one has more vociferously defended their actions from that time than Justice Minister Mostafa Pourmohammadi, who was the Intelligence Ministry\u2019s representative at Evin Prison when the executions took place.<\/p>\n

Pourmohammadi and three other individuals were in charge of the committee that oversaw the executions. Using the religiously charged term \u201chypocrites\u201d to refer to the political activists, Pourmohammadi told reporters Aug 28, \u201cYou cannot show mercy to the hypocrites, because if they can bloody and soil you, they will.\u201d He added, \u201cWe take pride in executing the orders with respect to the hypocrites.<\/p>\n

The audio file disclosed the talks between Montazeri and a judicial committee composed of Hossein-Ali Nayeri, the regime\u2019s sharia judge, Morteza Eshraqi, the regime\u2019s prosecutor, Ebrahim Raeesi, deputy prosecutor, and Mostafa Pour-Mohammadi, representative of the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS), currently the minister of justice.<\/p>\n

1988\u2019s executions chiefly affected members of the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK), opposition Kurds, and leftists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
