\"massacre<\/p>\n

By Staff Writer<\/p>\n

A new investigative report was released by Amnesty International<\/a> on Monday. It looks at the ways that signs of mass graves of political prisoners who were executed in Iran in 1988 are being wiped out.<\/p>\n

The report states, \u201cToday, it is still not known exactly how many prisoners were extra-judicially executed in 1988, although minimum estimates are between 4,000 and 5,000.\u201d<\/p>\n

AP reports, \u201cInternational rights groups estimate as many as 5,000 people were executed, while the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq puts the number at 30,000.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mass graves have been gradually leveled to escape any possible future accountability, report adds, \u201cThe account identifies seven suspected or confirmed mass grave sites that have faced destruction between 2003 and 2017. They are located in or near Behesht Reza cemetery in Mashhad, Khorasan Razavi province; Behesht Abad cemetery in Ahvaz, Khuzestan province; Vadieh Rahmat cemetery in Tabriz, East Azerbaijan province; Golestan Javid cemetery in Khavaran; Tazeh Abad cemetery in Rasht, Gilan province; the Baha\u2019i cemetery in Qorveh, Kurdistan province; and the grounds of the former premises of the Revolutionary Court in Sanandaj, Kurdistan province.\u201d<\/p>\n

A 1990 Amnesty report stated, \u201cSome who appeared were asked to identify themselves. Those who responded \u2018mujahedeen\u2019 were sent to their deaths, while others were questioned about their willingness to \u2018clear minefields for the army of the Islamic Republic\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

AI called for an enquiry commission to probe the officials of the \u201cDeath Commission\u201d, as it was known among former Iranian political prisoners, many of whom, according to the AI report, still hold offices in the Iranian regime. The report added that no Iranian official has been investigated or brought to justice.<\/p>\n

Two high profile examples are Ebrahim Raisi<\/a> a challenger to Hassan Rouhani in last year\u2019s presidential election and now the custodian of the wealthiest Imam Reza Foundation in Mashhad, and Mostafa Pour-Mohammadi, Iran\u2019s Justice Minister in Rouhani\u2019s first cabinet. Rouhani also chose Alireza Avii, another member of the Death Commission to head the Justice Ministry in his second cabinet.<\/p>\n

The Death Commission oversaw the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners<\/a> in the summer of 1988, who were mostly members and supporters of the opposition People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK). Raisi and Pour-Mohammadi were two of the four members of the Death Commission.<\/p>\n

Reportedly, Khomeini issued a fatwa, a religious decree, authorizing the massacre that occurred in the summer of 1988. The Commission allegedly handed down some 30,000 death sentences. Courts lasted an average of three minutes. Some of the political prisoners who survived the slaughter have written or spoken of their ordeals.<\/p>\n

The judges asked only one question, \u201cDo you still believe in Mojahedin?\u201d Gruesome accounts of survivors, especially female prisoners, often leave the listeners in shock.<\/p>\n

An audio tape that was published on his website by Ayatollah Hossein-Ali Montazeri\u2019s son in August 2016 brought much of this into the light. Montazeri objected to the mass executions in 1988. He spent the rest of his life under house arrest and died in 2009. Montazeri can be heard on the audio tape telling a meeting of the Death Commission that they are responsible for a crime against humanity. \u201cThe greatest crime committed during the reign of the Islamic Republic, for which history will condemn us, has been committed by you. Your names will in the future be etched in the annals of history as criminals,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Pour-Mohammadi has since not only admitted to his role in the Death Commission, he boasted that he was proud to \u201ccarry out God\u2019s will and he has not lost sleep over what he did.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amnesty\u2019s report also stated, \u201cMost of those extrajudicial executed were serving lengthy prison sentences, often imposed for their peaceful dissent, including for activities such as distributing newspapers and leaflets, taking part in peaceful anti-government demonstrations, and having real or perceived affiliations with various political opposition groups. Some had been released several years earlier and were re-arrested in the weeks leading up to the killings. Others had already completed their sentences but had not been released because they refused to make statements of \u2018repentance\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

The US House of Representatives passed a bill condemning human rights violations in Iran including the massacre of political prisoners in 1988. The Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Ed Royce, wrote, \u201cThe worst act against the Iranian people was the execution of 30,000 political prisoners in Iran by the regime over the course of four months in 1988. Many of those prisoners had just completed prison sentences before being executed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Calls for justice for the victims continue, and calls for the international community to step in on behalf of those prisoners and their families, continue as well. The new house bill also condemns hostage-taking tactic among foreign national and Iranians holding dual citizenship that seems to be used by the regime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
