They were hanged from cranes, then disinfected, and were buried in secret mass graves throughout Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On September 3, 2020, seven UN Special Rapporteurs told Iranian authorities that the 1988 massacres \u2018could amount to crimes against humanity\u2019 which warrants an \u2018international investigation\u2019.

This has meant many political prisoners since 1988 have also been executed for their political beliefs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last December, Foreign Ministers of the EU promoted a \u2018global human rights sanctions regime\u2019 aimed at targeting anyone responsible for any serious human rights violations. On December 17, the European Parliament voted in favor of a resolution demanding that Iran releases the truth about the massacre while requesting that the EU uses the new \u2018Magnitsky Act\u2019 to impose sanctions on the Iranian officials perpetrating the abuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On December 23, 2020, the United Kingdom\u2019s Human Rights Minister, Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, encouraged the authorities in Tehran to allow a UN Special Rapporteur on Iran, Javaid Rehman, access to the country so that he could undertake investigations into the massacre and other human rights violations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/peoples-mojahedin-pmoi-mek-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MEK <\/a>reported: \u201cThe UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, has formally established a commission of inquiry to undertake an investigation into any crimes against humanity that took place in Iran in <a href=\"https:\/\/iran1988.org\/1988-massacre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1988<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The families of the massacre victims are hopeful that when the EU Foreign Ministers next meet in Brussels on January 25, that they target those responsible for the massacre with the new sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"1988 Massacre of political prisoners in Iran\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/455GXFlK5yg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been suggested by some that the 1988 massacre happened so long ago that it might as well be forgotten but some of Iran\u2019s judiciary is being run by the \u2018thugs\u2019 who ordered the massacre 33 years ago.
