The majority of the victims murdered during the massacre were members of the Iranian opposition, the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/about-iranian-opposition-pmoi-mek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PMOI\/MEK<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The regime is desperate to hide any evidence of the atrocities that took place, even going as far as to pave over and build upon sites where many of the massacre\u2019s victims are buried in secret mass graves in order to prevent future investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Human Rights organizations, such as Amnesty International, have previously warned of the impact of this phenomenon on the families of victims, as well as its reinforcement of the regime\u2019s impunity when it comes to matters of human rights abuses and acts of terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/national-council-of-resistance-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCRI <\/a>said, \u201cAmnesty was also quick to highlight that impunity in the wake of Iran\u2019s June presidential election, which saw the election of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-ebrahim-raisi-a-mass-murderer-for-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Ebrahim Raisi<\/a> to the country\u2019s second-highest office following a race in which other viable candidates were barred from running.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calls for investigations into the Raisi\u2019s historic human rights abuses and crimes against humanity have been ongoing for years, both for his role as the head of the judiciary at the time of the brutal crackdown of the November 2019 uprising, and his role as a member of the Tehran death commission during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1988 massacre<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NCRI\u2019s response and statements on Noury\u2019s trial has continuously pointed out that the principle of universal jurisdiction used to convict Noury could be used to justify Raisi\u2019s prosecution. They have also extended the call for the prosecutions of other high-ranking regime officials, including Supreme Leader, <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2020\/10\/24\/who-is-ali-khamenei-iranian-regime-supreme-leader\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ali Khamenei<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/human-rights\/iranian-regimes-terrorism-human-rights-abuses-are-dual-effects-of-appeasement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> NCRI said<\/a>, \u201cWestern policymakers still remained largely silent on the issue of the massacre in the wake of those public statements, thereby courting further criticism regarding weak Iran policies and a tendency toward appeasement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"What you should know about Iran's network of terrorists and spies in EU\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/guJCIqrfsoc?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>In recent reports, it came to light that an appeal had been filed in a Belgian court by three individuals\u00a0convicted earlier this year of plotting to bomb an Iranian expatriate rally in Paris in 2018.
