Article by Mr. Jim Fitzpatrick MP about massacre of 1988 in Iran
Parliamentarian has spoken out about the mass
executions in Iran; the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political opponents and more
recent crimes against humanity.
Jim Fitzpatrick MP said: “Somebody should be held to account. There should be an enquiry, there should be charges levelled. Somebody has to be held responsible for the deaths of these people whose only crime was [being the political] opposition to Ayatollah Khomeini.”

The Labour MP for Poplar and Limehouse cited
Amnesty International’s report on capital punishment which stated that nearly
1,000 executions were carried out in Iran in 2015.
He said that as a result of the continuing exceptions, British MPs had been calling on the government to be more critical of the Iranian regime and condemn their executions of political opponents, especially children.
In the summer of 1988, more than 30,000 political prisoners, primarily affiliated to the opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI orMEK), were summarily and extra-judicially executed by the mullahs’ regime in Iran.

as far as the Iranian people are concerned, they will
never give up on their demand for the prosecution of each and every one of the
regime's leaders involved in this massacre, no matter how many years it takes.
The United Nations and the UN Security Council must make the necessary
political and legal arrangements for the international prosecution of the
regime's leaders for this crime against humanity.

The publication of a
shocking audio tape in which the former heir to then-Iranian regime’s supreme
leader, Khomeini, a meeting with members of the “death commission” 28 years ago
(August 15, 1988) reveals new information about the scope and breadth of the
massacre of political prisoners at the time.
It also shows that
the Iranian regime’s leaders who held positions of power since the beginning of
the regime’s establishment must face justice for committing one of the most
horrific crimes against humanity.
