Victims of enforced disappearances in Iran reveal the Iranian regime\u2019s human right\u2019s record and its barbarism to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the summer of 1988, Ruhollah Khomeini, then-supreme leader of the Iranian regime, issued a Fatwa to massacre thousands of political prisoners<\/a>, most of them MEK <\/a>members and supporters. The victims of the massacre were buried secretly in mass graves in unknown locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the PMOI<\/a>, members of other Iranian dissident groups were also executed during the 1988 massacre<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s worth reminding that most of these prisoners were trialed and sentenced. Some of them had even finished their sentence, but were kept in jail and were sent to the gallows of the firing squad during the 1988 massacre<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For decades, governments around the world turned\na blind eye on the killing of political prisoners and their secret burial, but\nhuman rights NGO\u2019s including Amnesty international demand to put pressure on\nthe Iranian regime to uncover the location of mass graves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After 30 years, the families of the victims are\nstill looking to identify the mass graves and learn the fate and whereabouts of\ntheir loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On August 28, on the verge of Forcibly disappeared international day\u00a0, Amnesty International urged UN member states to put pressure on the Iranian regime to uncover the location of mass graves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
