Maryam Rajavi calls on the UN to launch committee to investigate the 1988 massacre in Iran, and to prosecute and punish the officials in charge
Maryam Rajavi welcomed the 64th UN resolution condemning the violations of human rights in Iran adopted only a few hours ago by the UN Third Committee. She pointed out, “The time has come for the international community and especially the UN Security Council to undertake effective and practical measures against the religious fascism ruling Iran for its flagrant and systematic violations of human rights in Iran, particularly the brutal executions that are carried out arbitrarily and en masse.”
Referring to the resolution’s call on the Iranian regime “to launch a comprehensive accountability process in response to all cases of serious human rights violations, including those involving the Iranian judiciary and security agencies, and… to end impunity for such violations,” she stressed, “The best example of serious human rights violations in Iran is the massacre of political prisoners in 1988 in which all the clerical regime’s agencies and officials including Ali Khamenei, the president, the judiciary, the mullahs’ parliament, and the highest officials in charge of security and intelligence agencies were involved and complicit. They defend it and have so far remained immune from prosecution. Therefore, the international community faces a great test in investigating this great crime against humanity and prosecuting its perpetrators.”
Pointing to the reports of the UN Secretary General and the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran who have called for a comprehensive and independent investigation of the 1988 massacre of political prisoners in Iran, Maryam Rajavi also urged the UN to launch an investigative committee for this case and added, “This is the first step in putting an end to the impunity of criminals who have been ruling Iran for 38 years.”
