MARYAM
RAJAVI: THE MOVEMENT TI OBTAIN JUSTICE FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE 1988 MASSACRE IS
PART OF THE NATIONAL MOVEMENT FOR IRAN FREEDOM
The
leader of the Iranian Resistance forces has reaffirmed their commitment to seeking
justice for the 30,000 victims of the 1988 massacre after tapes leaked earlier
this month providing evidence of the Iranian Regime’s guilt.
Maryam
Rajavi, who called the executions a ‘crime
against humanity’, has once again asked the international community and the UN
to condemn the massacre and prosecute the offenders, in a speech made to the
Mayor and City Council of Paris, at an event celebrating its liberation.
She said: “Let me begin by honouring the
anniversary of the liberation of Paris, and by paying homage to the heroes who
sacrificed their lives for freedom and taught the lesson of perseverance. They
showed that we can and we must defeat the enemy even if it appears to be
powerful and invincible. It was not the military force, but the power of faith
in human values that liberated Paris. Such faith will also be the force to
liberate my country, which is enchained by a religious dictatorship.”
Shecommemorated the anniversary of the 1988 massacre, which she described as “a
hideous genocide” in which 30,000 political prisoners, mostly from the
opposition force the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) were
slaughtered in just a few short weeks.
AyatollahKhomeini issued a decree for the murder of political prisoners who refused to
repent their loyalty to the PMOI, even those that had already been sentenced to
jail terms.
In
the audio recording, Khomeini,s successor at the time Montazeri can be heard
addressing the ‘death committee’ and calling the massacre "the greatest
crime committed during the Islamic Republic" and Khomeini “a bloodthirsty
and brutal figure.”
It
also revealed that the massacre had been extensively planned in advance,
resulted in the murder of 15-year-old girls and pregnant women.
Rajavi
states that the main perpetrators are still high-ranking members of the Iranian
government.
Opinion Maryam Rajavi about
execution: Our plan for future is an Iran without the death penalty and
devoid of torture. Our plan is putting an end to torture and all forms of human
rights abuse in Iran.
The Iranian Resistance declared years ago that it calls for abolition
of death penalty and an end to torture and all forms of rights abuses in Iran.
