Iran: shocking audio recording of his meeting with the Death Committee after 28 years, about massacre of political prisoners in 1988 in Iran

Iran: For the 1st time, a shocking revelation by Khomeini’s former successor acknowledging massacre of 30,000 political prisoners

An Audio recording of the Late Ayatollah Montazeri surfaced recently unveils how orders for killing 30,000 political prisoners were given by the Evil Khomeini.

This shocking and at the same time first-hand account in to the 1988 mass killing of innocent political prisoners in a form of audio recording has been published for the first time of Khomeini’s former heir-apparent, Hossein-Ali Montazeri, acknowledging this brutal and nationwide massacre of activists of the main Iranian opposition group, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK).

Montazeri, who was subsequently dismissed as the heir by then-Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini, is heard addressing a meeting with the “death committee,” comprised of Hossein-Ali Nayeri, the regime’s sharia judge; Morteza Eshraqi, the regime’s prosecutor; Ebrahim Raeesi, deputy prosecutor; and Mostafa Pour-Mohammadi, representative of the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS). He tells the death committee members:

“The greatest crime committed during the reign of the Islamic Republic, for which history will condemn us, has been committed by you. Your (names) will in the future be etched in the annals of history as criminals.” He also added, “Executing these people while there have been no new activities (by the prisoners) means that … the entire judicial system has been at fault.”

In the summer of 1988, the Iranian regime summarily and extra-judicially executed 30,000 political prisoners held in jails across Iran.

This massacre was carried out on the basis of a fatwa by Khomeini. 

Montazeri adds, “The MEK are not simply individuals. They represent an ideology and a school of thought. They represent a line of logic. One must respond to the wrong logic by presenting the right logic. One cannot resolve this through killing; killing will only propagate and spread it.”

Shahin Gobadi of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran ( NCRI ) said:

It is imperative to put the clerical regime’s leaders on trial for committing crimes against humanity
The publication of an audio tape of the former heir to the Iranian regime’s supreme leader of his meeting with members of the “death committee” 28 years ago (August 15, 1988) reveals new information about the scope and breadth of the massacre of more than 30,000 political prisoners in 1988.
