Maryam Rajavi’s Call for Justice Speech at the 1988 Massacre Conference with Rita Süssmuth-17 August
On the 36th anniversary of the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners, over 90% of whom were members of the PMOI, we salute those heroes. This horrific massacre continued for several months in 1988. Simultaneously with accepting the ceasefire in the eight-year war with Iraq, which he described as a chalice of poison, Khomeini issued the decree for the mass execution of all steadfast PMOI prisoners. They were hanged for standing firm in their fight for freedom. This constitutes the most serious crime attributed to this movement and its members by the Velayat-e Faqih regime, the mullahs’ religious dictatorship. The PMOI, which will mark its 60th anniversary next month, is primarily known for its fight against the two dictatorships of the Shah and the mullahs.
