You can see another part of the testimonies of eyewitnesses of the 1988 massacre in Iran in the following clip.

This part is dedicated to the testimony of Mr. Ali Zolfaghari.

My name is Ali Zolfaghari. I was arrested in 1981 for supporting the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK). I spent some time in a prison in Rasht, northern Iran. I had many cellmates who were the MEK’s supporters and members.

They were executed later those years for persisting in their ideals and supporting the MEK.


One of my cellmates was Reza Niknam. He heroically accepted all responsibilities of the actions done by our group of five people. He was executed on June 30, 1982.

The regime did not allow Reza Niknami’s parents to bury their son in the cemetery. So, his mother was forced to bury him under the stairs in their home.
