Beth: A conference attended by a large number of witnesses and survivors of the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners and relatives of the martyrs was held in Stockholm today, Tuesday, September 21, 2021, coinciding with a keynote speech by the serial killer of the 1988 massacre at the United Nations General Assembly via the Internet. They called on the international community to bring the perpetrators of this genocide and crimes against humanity to justice.

Members of the Swedish Parliament Ingmar Schell Ström, Magnus Skarsson and Schell Arne Attusson also spoke at the conference, stressing the need to bring the perpetrators of the massacre, especially Raisi, to justice.

The President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, Maryam Rajavi, said in a video message to the conference: “Ebrahim Raisi should be brought to justice for the execution and torture of prisoners. But he rose to the General Assembly to give a speech. Human society cannot accept such stigma and not cry out in protest.

Mrs. Rajavi mentioned the mullahs’ regime’s efforts to cover up the major crime of the massacre and genocide of the People’s Mujahedin, saying: What did not enter into Khomeini’s calculations is the mighty work done by the Mojahedin-e-Khalq and the Iranian Resistance. In the first weeks after the start of the massacre; The leader of the resistance, Massoud Rajavi, revealed, in statements, interviews and in numerous telegrams to the then Secretary-General of the United Nations, that “Khomeini issued a decree in his own handwriting ordering the execution of political prisoners of the Mojahedin-e-Khalq.” On December 23, 1988, the leader of the resistance sent a list of 1,100 martyrs of the massacre to the relevant authorities in the United Nations.

She added: Since then, the People’s Mojahedin Organization and the Iranian Resistance, during successive years, have launched a large-scale global campaign to urge the international community to condemn the massacre, and the movement to prosecute those involved in the massacre is supported by the efforts of a thousand former prisoners of Ashraf III and thousands of former prisoners in Iran and around the world. . This unique group of steadfast nobles is the rebellious conscience of Iranian society, which will not abandon prosecution until the rule of the executioners is overthrown.

Mrs. Rajavi stressed that the escalation of repression and incitement to war by monsters in human form will not save the regime from falling, nor their crazy attempts to produce nuclear weapons. We call on the world to condemn this brutal regime for its systematic violation of human rights in Iran and to condition the continuation and expansion of political and economic relations with this regime on improving human rights conditions and stopping executions and torture. We call on the international community, especially the Swedish government and the European Union, to recognize the massacre of political prisoners on It is genocide and a crime against humanity, and take the necessary steps to refer this issue to the UN Security Council and lift the immunity of those responsible for this heinous crime, especially Khamenei and Raisi, and bring them to justice.

Nineteen political prisoners who survived the massacre attended the conference. A number of them shared their memories of the 1988 summer massacre and shed light on it from different angles. They all affirmed that:

The 1988 massacre is a clear example of crimes against humanity and genocide, which was carried out according to Khomeini’s fatwa, in which 30,000 political prisoners were killed, more than 90% of whom were members and supporters of the Mujahedin-e-Khalq. We witnessed the execution of thousands of our friends and comrades in struggle in the prisons of Evin, Kohrdasht and elsewhere. Most of us in Evin and Kordasht have seen Ibrahim Raisi at the death commission that sentenced thousands of prisoners to death and handed them to the gallows. Many of our comrades witnessed the execution of a large number of Mujahideen by Raisi in Karaj and Hamadan. Today is a disgraceful day for contemporary humanity because such a criminal is addressing the United Nations General Assembly.

The representative of witnesses and survivors of the massacre said in a speech: “We saw how the guards were transporting the wagons loaded with gallows to the halls that turned into altars, and then returning the wagons filled with the sandals of our comrades who were executed from the halls.

We watched how in the darkness of the night the trucks carried the bodies of our executed comrades to hide them in mass graves whose whereabouts remain unknown. We saw that Raisi and his colleagues did not even spare the paralyzed prisoners or those suffering from severe epileptic fits, and hung them from noose.

These days, aspects of the events of Kohrdesht prison have been clarified at the Stockholm Court. But still no one knows so far about many aspects of this prison and we do not know the names of many martyrs. Dozens of kilometers away, the Evin Prison massacre was many times more martyred than Gohardasht. Evin Prison, which held 10,000 to 15,000 prisoners after June 20, 1981. The disaster had more agonizing proportions in the cities. How many cities have not even a single person escaped from prison.

As the witnesses affirmed in their speeches: We have seen how the Mujahideen men and women did not surrender in front of the executioners, like Raisi, and insisted on their position and accepted death with pride. It was a test for a generation of Mujahideen who learned the lesson of honesty and sacrifice at Massoud Rajavi’s school, and how they passed this test with pride.

It has been 33 years since that eternal saga and we are only alive with this hope and breathing in order to continue their path of support to the MEK. We have come to say to the international community: Enough of silence and inaction. Enough of giving criminals immunity. This is an encouragement to continue the crime. And that the nature of this government shaped the massacres and crime that continues to this day.

We call for an independent UN investigation and accountability and prosecution of the perpetrators of this massacre, specifically Ibrahim Raisi and Ali Khamenei. We will continue this campaign until justice is served.

In conjunction with the gathering of witnesses to the massacre in Sweden, Iranians in New York, Paris, London, Berlin, Rome, Vancouver, The Hague, Brussels, Cologne, Geneva, Bucharest and Vietoburi held gatherings and vigils against Ibrahim Raisi’s speech.
