United Nations Special Rapporteur on the human rights in Iran calls for independent investigation into massacre of political prisoners in 1988

By Arash Nikzad


Ms. Asima Jahangir, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the human rights in Iran, announced in her speech before the Human Rights Council about a comprehensive and independent investigation into the massacre of political prisoners in 1988 in Iran.

She said:  we have to move forward, I would like to suggest that we must take a look back, in this regard, a significant number of petitions, communications, and documents related to the massive executions of thousands of Iranian political prisoners, men, women, and teenagers in 1988. This is a matter of deep agonizing of the victims' families after almost three decades, which must definitely be studied, these murders have been confirmed by some current senior Iranian officials. I receive almost daily letters from the family members of those who have been killed in the massacre and that they are dead and they want to be answered. Family victims are deserved for compensation and they must know the truth about the fate of their relatives without any risking of retaliation and being revenge by the authorities.

So, I emphasize my call to ensure that a comprehensive and independent investigation is carried out on these events.

Following the ballistic missile attack against Riyadh International Airport by the Iran-backed Houthis last weekend, British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson condemned the Houthis in a call to Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman. French President Emmanuel Macron also said that he believed Iran to be behind the attack on Saudi Arabia. While US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley accused Iran of supplying the Houthi rebels with the missiles needed to attack Saudi Arabia in November and in July. She called on the UN to hold the Regime accountable. Fears and Response The Iranian Regime has long feared that Europe would move away from them, even going so far as to have Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei publically call on Europe to oppose t...
