Stockholm, Sweden—May 16, 2023: Freedom-loving Iranians, and supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) held a rally on the tenth session of the appeal trial of the executioner Hamid Noury in front of the court. They are seeking justice for more than 30,000 martyrs of the 1988 massacre.
Freedom-loving Iranians held their demonstration in front of the executioner Noury’s court to once again bring the voices of the victims of the 1988 massacre to the ears of the world.
The 10th session of the Swedish Court of Appeals was held in Stockholm on the morning of Tuesday, May 16, 2023, and continued until the afternoon. In this meeting, the prosecutors and defense lawyers informed the judges about the testimony of several families and relatives of the massacred prisoners in Gohardasht prison, including the Marxist prisoners. They also emphasized that the MEK prisoners mentioned in this court were executed in Gohardasht Karaj prison.
During this session, Hamid Noury’s lawyer tried to cast doubt on the authenticity of the testimonies given by the relatives of the executed Mojahedin regarding the execution of some Mojahedin in Gohardasht prison during the massacre in the summer of 1988, and attempted to distort the testimony of the witnesses.
Gita Hading, the lawyer defending a number of plaintiffs, informed the judges of the appeals court about the testimonies of Ms. Mahnaz Maimant, Ms. Mehri Hajinejad, and Mr. Seyed Jafar Mirmohammadi regarding the execution of their brothers in Gohardasht prison. She proved that all three of them, citing prisoners and various witnesses, were executed in Gohardasht prison.
It is worth noting that on July 14, 2022, the former assistant prosecutor in Gohardasht prison, Hamid Noury (also known as Hamid Abbasi) sentenced to life imprisonment by a Swedish court on charges of being involved in a crime against humanity in the case of the 1988 massacre of thousands of political prisoners.
Iranian Resistance supporters and 1988 massacre martyrs families, called on the international community to prosecute the mullahs’ regime leaders, especially supreme leader Ali Khamenei, the mass murderer Ebrahim Raisi and the regimes’ judiciary chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Ejei, for four decades of crimes against humanity and genocide.
Iranians also carried pictures of the martyrs of the Iranian Revolution. They expressed their solidarity with the nationwide Iranian protests.
