Massacre In the Making: Iran\u2019s Crackdown Signals a Return to 1988<\/h3>\n

\"AmericanThinker_23102020\"<\/p>\n

With executions surging inside Iran and the regime issuing fresh threats against political prisoners, a chilling warning is echoing from within the country\u2019s prisons: Tehran may be preparing for another mass atrocity \u2014 one that mirrors the 1988 massacre of political detainees.<\/p>\n

On July 17, 2025, Saeed Masouri, a longtime political prisoner, sounded the alarm in a powerful open\u00a0letter<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0He declared that his resistance was not about opposing a prison transfer, but about preventing \u201canother state-sanctioned crime from unfolding in the shadows.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0His words recall the summer of 1988, when an estimated 30,000 political prisoners \u2014 mostly members or supporters of the MEK \u2014 were executed in cold blood.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s \u2018Migration Jihad’ Sees Thousands of Radicals Sent to UK On Weaponised Routes<\/h3>\n

\"daily-express-logo\"<\/p>\n

Iran is preparing to exploit North African asylum routes to infiltrate the UK with thousands of radicalised operatives posing as asylum seekers, a leading security analyst has warned. According to intelligence shared with European officials,\u00a0Tehran<\/a>\u00a0has forged a strategic partnership with Algeria, using it as both a propaganda base and transit hub for smuggling radicalised operatives into\u00a0France<\/a>, the UK, and beyond.<\/p>\n

At the centre of this campaign is the Polisario Front, a separatist movement operating in Western Sahara. Long supported by Algeria, the group is now being co-opted by Iran and\u00a0Hezbollah<\/a>, according to Aur\u00e8le Tobelem, Director of Research at the Forum for Foreign Relations.<\/p>\n

As Iran\u2019s Regime Calls for Repeat of 1988 Massacre, It Launches Wave of Political Arrests<\/h3>\n

\"Inside<\/p>\n

In a clear sign of the Iranian regime\u2019s escalating war on dissent, its repressive forces have launched a new wave of brutal arrests targeting political activists and their families. These raids, carried out with extreme violence and a complete disregard for the law, reveal a regime terrified of its own people and determined to silence any opposition through sheer force.\u00a0The human face of this crackdown is stark. On July 21, 2025, a force of 40 security agents staged a violent, raid on the home of Leila Saremi in Borujerd, arresting her without a warrant.\u00a0Just days later, on July 24, former political prisoner Shahin Zoghi-Tabar was abducted by plainclothes intelligence agents in Tehran and taken to an unknown location, his family left in anguish with no information about his fate or condition. These are not isolated events; they are the frontline actions in the regime\u2019s declared policy of annihilation.<\/p>\n

July 2025 Report: A Crime in Progress: The Threat of Another Massacre in Iran<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

July 2025 Report: In recent months, the repression of political prisoners in Iran has escalated to unprecedented levels. Numerous reports from inside the country indicate that enforced disappearances, violent transfers to unknown locations, torture during interrogations, denial of contact with family members, and deprivation of medical care are being systematically carried out against political detainees.<\/p>\n

These developments closely resemble the patterns seen prior to the\u00a01988 massacre<\/a>\u00a0of 30,000 prisoners in the jails of the clerical regime.<\/p>\n

Among the most alarming cases is the forced transfer of dozens of female political prisoners from Evin Prison to\u00a0Qarchak Prison<\/a>, as well as the\u00a0relocation of hundreds<\/a>\u00a0of political detainees to the notorious Greater Tehran Prison. These prisoners are being held in dire, unsanitary conditions without access to healthcare or basic human rights.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
