Amb. Lincoln Bloomfield, Jr., Former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs joined the Online Free Iran Global Summit<\/a>\u2014day 2. In his remarks, Amb. Bloomfield said, \u201cI wrote a monograph explaining in detail the politics and the heritage of this movement called The Ayatollahs and the MEK:\u00a0Iran<\/a>\u2019s Crumbling Influence Operation.\u00a0\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July 1988, the Iranian religious fascism\u2019s founder and the first supreme leader Ruhollah Khomeini issued a\u00a0fatwa<\/em>\u00a0ordering the execution of imprisoned opponents, including those who had already been tried and were serving their prison terms. This was the beginning of what turned out to be the biggest massacre of political prisoners since World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the decree, some 30,000 political prisoners were extra-judicially executed within several months. Today, thanks to the initiative of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>), known as \u201cCall for Justice<\/a>\u201d many legal and international bodies have joined the families of victims in search of justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
