Mr. Antonio Guterres, And also the recent report by UN Special Rapporteur on human rights issues in Iran, Ms. Asima Jahangir, who in her latest report called for an independent and impartial inquiry About the massacre of more than thirty thousand political prisoners in 1988, and in her report, insisted on the right of the executed families to know about the details and truth of what had gone on to their loved ones and called on for more investigation.

Amnesty International also issued a report on the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in 1988 by Khomeini's decree, describing the massacre of the political prisoners who were supporter of the Mujahedeen-e-khalq(MEK/PMOI) who were buried in mass graves, as well as the actions of Khomeini, then leader of the Iranian regime, to hide the massacre from the eyes of the world, so that  there is no accurate information from the total number of that extrajudicial executions and the burial site of the  victims.
