In the recording the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/worldnews\/middleeast\/iran\/1321090\/Khomeini-fatwa-led-to-killing-of-30000-in-Iran.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"alternate noopener noreferrer\">late Ayatollah Hossein-Ali Montazeri<\/a> is heard accusing the leaders of Iran\u2019s \u2018death commission\u2019 of \u201cthe greatest crime committed during the Islamic Republic, for which history will condemn us, has been committed by you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The late Ayatollah was referring to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners-in-iran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"alternate noopener noreferrer\">massacre of tens of thousands<\/a> of political opponents of the Iranian regime, including thousands of members of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI).<\/p>\n<p>Tehran\u2019s use of executions as a form of suppression of its population\u2019s desire for democracy has continued from 1988 to the present day. Supposedly moderate Presidents have come and gone, but one thing that has never changed is the systematic use of executions.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the individuals who formed the \u2018death commission\u2019 leads us to a worrying conclusion: that in reality, although the puppet\u2019s head may change from election to election, those pulling the strings in Iranian politics have remained.<\/p>\n<p>Four men made up the commission that led the massacres in 1988. Today three of those men remain senior figures within the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n<p>Mostafa Pourmohammadi is Iran\u2019s Minister of Justice, Hossein-Ali Nayyeri Iran\u2019s head of the Supreme Disciplinary Court for Judges, and Ebrahim Raeesi among the regime\u2019s most senior clerics and the head of the Astan Qods-e Razavi foundation (a multi-billion dollar religious, political and economic conglomerate and one of the most important political and economic powerhouses in the clerical regime).<\/p>\n<p>This week the leader of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), Iran\u2019s largest coalition of opposition groups, called on the international community to bring about justice for those massacred in 1988 through the international prosecution of the masterminds of the 1988 massacre. I join her in that call.<\/p>\n<p>Included in that list alongside Mostafa Pourmohammadi, Hossein-Ali Nayyeri, and Ebrahim Raeesi must be Ayatollah Khamenei Iran\u2019s current Supreme Leader and a public supporter of the 1988 massacres.<\/p>\n<p>It is time to take decisive steps sending a clear message to the leaders of Iran that executions which take place without a fair trial, respect for due process or without the individual\u2019s rights being preserved will not be accepted by the international community. Have we sacrificed human rights for progress on decommissioning centrifuges?<\/p>\n<p>It is important that in today\u2019s climate, where Hassan Rouhani is hailed as a moderate and a man the international community can work with, that we do not simply address the man but rather the establishment in Tehran. Entry into the international community and the benefits that brings must come at a cost for Iran and not simply be a right of way.<\/p>\n<p>Bringing about international prosecutions against the perpetrators of the 1988 massacre is not only something we should have done many years ago, but it will show Tehran that breaches of international protocols will not be accepted if the regime wishes to play a greater part in the international community.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Freer is MP for Finchley and Golders Green.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In
