NCRI President Maryam Rajavi was the keynote speaker at the event \u201cCall for Justice on 1988 Massacre\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we are approaching the 31st anniversary of the martyrdom of 30,000 political prisoners massacred on Khomeini\u2019s fatwa for the crime of remaining loyal to their pledges over the name of Mojahedin and their ideal, i.e. freedom of the people of Iran,\u201d said NCRI president-elect\u00a0 Maryam Rajavi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe massacre of political prisoners was a blood-drenched encounter between the Middle Ages and a generation which created the 1979 revolution, a generation resolved to achieve a society based on freedom & equality, but encountered the monster of religious fascism,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe 1988 massacre was the horrifying scene of such historic confrontation, but it was not the end. It was the beginning of a new confrontation, continuing to this day, and will write the fate of the Iranian nation in freedom,\u201d NCRI President Maryam Rajavi continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKhomeini\u2019s intention in ordering the 1988 massacre was to totally uproot and obliterate the Mojahedin. To this end, he deployed his killing machine in several areas. The most intense killings began in Evin and Gohardasht prisons, aimed specifically at members of the PMOI\/MEK,\u201d Mrs. Rajavi emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the latest list of victims compiled by the PMOI\/MEK indicates that the 1988 massacre took place in at least 110 cities,\u201d the Iranian opposition President added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe consequences of giving impunity to the masterminds and perpetrators of the 1988 massacre have not been limited to human rights, and the perpetuation of torture and executions, but have emboldened the Iranian regime in exporting terrorism and warmongering,\u201d Mrs. Rajavi highlighted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
