1988 massacre

: In July 1988 as the war with Iraq was ending in a truculent truce. Prisons in Iran crammed with government opponents suddenly wanting to die

: All family visits were cancelled. Television and radios switched off and newspapers discontinued. Prisoners were kept in their cells. This allowed exercise trips to the infirmary.

The only permitted visitation was from a delegation trip and didn’t bitted which came in government BMW and Mercedes to outlying jails. A religious judge a public prosecutor and an intelligence chief. Before them were paraded briefly individually almost. And there were thousands of them who had been jailed for adherence to beat em. The delegation had bought one respite. For these young men and women most of them detained since 1980 were. Merely to take populist protest. So. There’s a different religion. Although they didn’t know. On the answer their life to pay. Their dues who buy that Absol you didn’t see any continuing affiliation with the army.

: K K were blindfolded and ordered to join a conga line and that straight through the gala.

: They were hung from cranes for a time or in groups of six from ropes hanging from the stage in an assembly hall.

: Some were taken to army barracks that night directed to make their wills and then shot by firing squad. Their bodies with dolls were doused with disinfectant. Placed in refrigerated trucks. And buried by night in mass grave. Months later their families desperate for information about their true grit know their part. Those would be handed a plastic bag.

: With a few few possessions they would be refused any information about the location of the graves and ordered never to mold them in public. By mid August 1988 thousands of prisoners had been killed in this manner. By the state. Without trial without appeal

: And often without most.
