According to intelligence obtained by thePeople’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK), most of the institutionsof the Iranian 

Regime are run by the perpetrators of the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political prisoners. We have managed to obtain information about 59 of the most senior officials responsible for this massacre, whose names had remained secret for nearly three decades. They currently hold key positions in the various institutions of the regime. These individuals were members of the “Death Commissions” in Tehran and 10 other Iranian provinces. An investigation is continuing to uncover the identities of other such criminals.

This intelligence and widespread information of the names of the martyrs and their burial sites and mass graves have reached the PMOI in recent weeks.

Background
