Maryam Rajavi calls for urgent action to prevent destruction of the graves of victims and removing the traces of the 1988 massacre in Iran<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The President-elect<\/a> of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi,<\/a> urged the UN Secretary General, the UN Security Council, the UN Human Rights Council, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and international human rights organizations to immediately take action to prevent the Iranian regime\u2019s systematic destruction of the graves of victims of the 1988 massacre in Iran and removal of the traces of this massacre throughout the country, particularly in Ahvaz.<\/p>\n

As the clerical regime\u2019s efforts to prevent the growth of the Call-for-Justice movement has failed and it has not managed to send the massacre of Iranian political prisoners into oblivion, the ruling mullahs are desperately trying to remove the traces for this massacre in a bid to evade the consequences of this genocide and great crime against humanity, Mrs. Rajavi added.<\/p>\n

She warned that the destruction of the graves of the martyrs \u2013whether aimed at inflicting a vicious psychological torture on their families or at removing the evidence of this crime against humanity\u2013 is a major crime in itself whose masterminds and perpetrators must face justice and be held accountable.<\/p>\n

The inhuman clerical regime has in recent weeks razed the graves of the victims of the 1988 massacre and other victims of execution in the 1980s in Ahvaz, capital of Khuzestan Province (in southwestern Iran), and is constructing roads in their place in order to remove all traces of these graves.<\/p>\n

In late June, the regime had demolished the graves of PMOI martyrs in Vadi-e Rahmat Cemetery in Tabriz, capital of East Azerbaijan Province (northwestern Iran). In the previous month, the mass graves of the martyrs of the 1988 massacre and other PMOI martyrs in Behesht-e Reza Cemetery in Mashhad, capital of Razavi Khorasan Province (northeastern Iran), had been destroyed on the orders of the clerical regime\u2019s officials.<\/p>\n
