Mostafa Pourmohammadi, a notorious figure in the Iranian regime\u2019s judiciary and intelligence apparatus and a key member of the \u201cDeath Committees\u201d responsible for the 1988 massacre of political prisoners, has recently made a series of statements that, far from absolving him or the regime, further expose the deep-seated brutality and current panic within Iran\u2019s ruling clerical establishment.<\/p>\n

The 1988 massacre saw the summary execution of an estimated 30,000 political prisoners across Iran. The vast majority of victims were members and supporters of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK<\/a>).<\/p>\n
