Cross-party Members of Parliament from both the UK and European countries took part in a virtual conference on Thursday, 10 September 2020, to support the global campaign to seek justice for victims of the 1988 massacre<\/a> of political prisoners in Iran.
Prominent human rights lawyers, a former UN official, the UK Representative of the Iranian Resistance Movement (NCRI<\/a>), European parliamentarians and dignitaries also participated in the conference, which heard testimonies from the family members of the victims of the 1988 massacre<\/a>.
Speakers agreed that the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in Iran in 1988 is an ongoing crime against humanity ordered by the highest authority in the country at the time. They also argued that the appalling human rights situation in Iran is a direct result of the failure of the international community to hold the perpetrators of the 1988 massacre<\/a> to account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The keynote speaker at this event was Mrs.\u00a0Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, the\u00a0National Council of Resistance of Iran\u00a0(NCRI<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dowlat Nowrouzi<\/a>, NCRI Representative in the UK joined the Online\u00a0Parliamentary Conference<\/a> by Cross-Party UK, European MPs and Prominent Jurists on 1988 Massacre in Iran. In her remarks, Ms. Nowrouzi said, \u201cMembers of parliament in Europe, the U.S. and around the world must cry out and stand with the people of Iran and say the international community must stop supporting the regime in its crimes, its continued executions of protesters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
