Mr. Hossain Abedini<\/a>, the NCRI\u2019s Representative Office deputy director in the UK, moderated this conference.
The former political prisoners had personally witnessed or were the victims of the 1988 massacre<\/a> of political prisoners in Iran. The primary candidate for the regime\u2019s sham Presidential election is Ebrahim Raisi, Iran\u2019s current Judiciary Chief, a member of the death commission. Raisi <\/a>played a crucial role in the massacre of over 30,000 political prisoners, mostly members and supporters of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK<\/a>).
In his opening remarks, Mr. Abedini referred to the intention of the regime\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, to consolidate his power by pulling Raisi out of the ballot box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Mr. Abedini\u2019s remarks, the participants in the conference spoke about their own personal observations and the execution of the Iranian political prisoners by Ebrahim Reisi<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
