The Iranian regime executed a woman and three men on August 18. Previously, on August 5, Mostafa Salehy, who was detained in the 2018 major Iran protests was executed.
The mullahs’ incessant executions and human rights violations will continue as long as they enjoy impunity over 1988 massacre of political prisoners.
Executions in Iran are a political tool for the mullahs to maintain their grasp on power.
The regime’s founder, Ruhollah Khomeini, ordered the massacre of all political prisoners, mostly members and supporters of PMOI/ MEK, who refused to succumb to the regime’s demands.
30,000 innocent prisoners were executed only for preserving their ideas. Since the 1988 massacre, the regime has never stopped its human rights violations.
killing over 1500 protesters during the major Iran protests in November 2019, indicate how the mullahs use execution and repression to prolong their rule.
These events also confirm how the mullahs enjoy and use their impunity over the 1988 massacre as a license to kill and further brutalize the Iranian society. many of the perpetrators of the 1988 massacre – such as Ebrahim Raisi, current head of the regime’s Judiciary – hold top positions in the regime.
Now, to end the regime’s ongoing human rights violations, the world community should hold the mullahs to account for the 1988 massacre and end their impunity.
This will also help the Iranian people in their quest for freedom and democracy.
The world community has an opportunity to stand with the people of Iran.
The United Nations and its members should take action regarding the 1988 massacre during the upcoming UN General Assembly in September.
