He expressed concern about not doing enough to &#8220;fulfill God\u2019s rule\u201d.<br \/>\nIn the verdict dated 14 January 1989, which was addressed to Nayeri and Raeisi, Khomeini gives them a mandate to deal with judicial cases in the cities of Semnan, Sirjan, Islam Abad, and Dorood. He orders them that \u201cregardless of the official obstacles, [they must] perform with accuracy and urgency the divine decree\u201d. (order to Messer Nayeri and Raeisi to deal with the judicial situation in cities Semnan etc. 1 January 1989, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imam-khomeini.ir\/fa\/C207_44667\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Sahifeye Nour<\/a>, volume 21)<br \/>\nTwo weeks later, another order was written and addressed to the main perpetrators of the massacre, Nayeri, and Raeisi, in which the subject was again set as \u201cdealing with the judicial problems of Sirjan and Dorood\u201d. This time Khomeini\u2019s anger was clearly targeted at \u201cthe failure of God\u2019s rule being carried out\u201d:<br \/>\n\u201cIn the Name of God the Merciful. Since the top officials of the country\u2019s judiciary have no sensitivity towards the above serious matters, a mission has been given to clerics Messer Nayeri and Raeisi to proceed in regards to the referenced issues according to what they distinguish and in the framework of the dear Islam. Surprisingly, such events occur under the rule of Islam; but the rules of God are not carried out in a very careless manner and other works become a priority to judicial matters.<br \/>\nRuhollah Mousavi Khomeini \u2013 14 January 1989\u201d. (\u201cwarning the judicial officials and handling operation to the judicial problems of cities Sirjan and Doroud\u201d, 14 January 1989, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imam-khomeini.ir\/fa\/C207_44667\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Sahifeye Nour<\/a>, volume 21)<br \/>\nThree days later, Khomeini wrote a very blunt and critical letter to the members of the Judicial Supreme Council, saying that the most important sentence was regarding execution procedures: \u201cI cannot bear the cancellation of God\u2019s rule\u201d\u2026 \u201cI like you all very much, but I cannot be ignorant of the religious duty\u201d. (\u201cletter to the Judicial Supreme Council (some reminders to the members of that council)\u201d, 17 January 2017, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imam-khomeini.ir\/fa\/C207_44667\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Sahifeye Nour<\/a>, volume 21)<br \/>\nOn 21 January 1989, Khomeini issued a more significant decree and gave Nayeri and Raeisi a dominant role over the whole judicial system. However, his main expressed goal was \u201cto implement God\u2019s rule\u201d: \u201cAll the files that have unfortunately been resting in that council, and that has delayed the implementation of God\u2019s rule, will be in the hands of clerics of Islam, Nayeri and Raeisi, so that they can complete God\u2019s rule as soon as possible for which no hesitation is acceptable.\u201d (\u201corders to Messer Nayeri and Raeisi (deal with resting cases in the Judicial Supreme Council)\u201d, 21 January 1989, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imam-khomeini.ir\/fa\/C207_44667\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Sahifeye Nour<\/a>, volume 21)<br \/>\nThis verdict was later faced with many questions and interpretations in the judicial system. Two of the perpetrators of the massacre asked Khomeini in a letter that is his rule \u201creferring to the execution of the divine or the issued verdicts regarding retaliation of oneself?\u201d Khomeini\u2019s response is short and firm: \u201cThe mission that I have given you\u2026 is divine and consists of retaliation\u201d. (\u201cletters to Messer Nayeri and Raeisi (carry out the \u201cdivine\u201d and \u201cretribution\u201d)\u201d, 22 January 1989, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imam-khomeini.ir\/fa\/C207_44667\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Sahifeye Nour<\/a>, volume 21)<br \/>\nIn regards to what \u201cGod\u2019s rule\u201d actually means, Khomeini clarified in his message on 23 February 1989 that it consists of the execution of political opponents: \u201cWe shouldn\u2019t advertise in such a way to underestimate the rules of God and the divine rule under the influence of unnecessary and useless pity for the enemies of God and the dissidents and offenders towards the system\u201d. (Ruhollah Khomeini, \u201c<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imam-khomeini.ir\/fa\/C207_44667\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Sahifeye Nour<\/a>\u201d, volume 21, pg. 286)<br \/>\nEven if we disregard this message, the political nature of the orders issued consistently by Khomeini to Nayeri and Raeisi cannot be ignored. These orders were not meant for the execution of &#8220;drug smugglers.&#8221; The execution of these people is considered \u201cretribution\u201d. These orders are also not meant for ordinary crimes; otherwise, there was no need for Khomeini to do so in secret. Another sign that verifies the political nature of these verdicts is that reports regarding these sentences were not published in the regime\u2019s newspapers but were carried out in secret. These verdicts were unveiled many years later in Khomeini\u2019s collection of messages and edits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As a result, these verdicts are in all likelihood among the most important political projects of the regime during the massacre of political prisoners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Description of picture: late December 1988, Tabriz, capital of East Azerbaijan Province, Gojil intersection, the execution of several political prisoners including Dr. Firouz Saremi, specialist for cancer and Dr. Tayebi Nejad, specialist for childbirth \u2013 according to Mojahed newspaper, no. 427, dated 9 February 1999.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Some of the reports regarding the public hangings of members of the MEK have been published in state-run newspapers, including:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Islamic Revolutionary newspaper, 30 January 1989: \u201c12 members of the Ayaran group were executed in Karaj. The names of these corrupt individuals are Safi Gholi Ashrafi\u2026.

It is worth mentioning that 3 of those named above were publicly executed in Qods and Shahriyar towns and the rest were hanged in prison\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stats.sender.net\/forms\/dGYVLa\/view\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-219239 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" width=\"250\" height=\"83\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In some of the notes and assessments regarding the 1988 massacre, the period of the mass executions has been acknowledged as late July to September.
