In subsequent years, other executions, including those executed in Ahvaz\u2019s 1988 massacre, were generally buried there, specified in satellite images of these areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this regard, in 1996, the Union of Housing Cooperatives of Khuzestan Province began to prepare the land around this area for construction, which had less than 40% progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1997, the then-mayor of Ahvaz, \u201cAbbas Holakouee,\u201d who had a history of membership in security institutions, planned to turn this cemetery into a green space! However, the project was virtually abandoned after three years because the area\u2019s soil was too unsuitable and difficult to access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2001, the Ahvaz Housing and Urban Development Organization started designing and planning new urban plans for construction. But, since the Housing and Urban Development Organization could not reach an agreement with the owners of these properties, who already had documents, this plan was also abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to all the efforts made to destroy this place, Ahvaz Municipality emptied all construction debris in this anonymous cemetery, making it more challenging to access these tombs and its existential monuments destroyed. Especially in the two seasons of autumn and winter, when it rains a lot and the surface water has no way out, the situation worsens so much that about six months of the year, water collects in half of the high cement tombs and causes them to settle and be further destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until the end of July 2018, under the pretext of constructing a boulevard, the entire area where the mass graves of political prisoners had previously been executed was razed to the ground using an excavator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although these mass graves of the tombs of the Mojahedin and militant martyrs of the Iranian people have been destroyed and leveled after two years, these crime documents can never be erased from the historical memory of the Iranian people. We neither forgive nor forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an anti-human act, the Mullah\u2019s criminal regime destroyed the tomb of the\u00a01988 massacre\u00a0victims in Khavaran, Ahvaz, which was in the form of mass graves, to erase the traces of a great crime against humanity by building a boulevard on it.
