The purpose of this summit is to address the gravest crime committed against humanity by the clerical regime in Iran.

In the summer of 1988, the then Supreme Leader Khomeini issued a religious decree with the aim of eliminating the most serious threat to his regime’s existence.

His ‘fatwa’ called for the systematic execution of all members of the Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MEK/PMOI) who were imprisoned in Iran. Over the course of a few weeks, more than 30,000 political prisoners, predominantly members of the MEK, who steadfastly adhered to their beliefs, were executed nationwide.

The 1988 massacre has been widely described as genocide by numerous human rights activists and political experts. Given that the regime in Iran continues to hold the unfortunate distinction of being the world’s largest state executioner per capita, leaders and lawmakers from around the world are gathering at the NCRI event to discuss the topic.

 

 

Their purpose will speak about the ongoing massacre of political prisoners to call upon the international community to end the regime’s impunity. They will urge the Iranian authorities to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity. Additionally, the attendees are calling on the United Nations to take action to protect the thousands of Iranian protesters who are currently languishing in prisons within Iran.

 

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the NCRI

On the brink of the 35th anniversary of the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners, we pay tribute to those who gave their lives for freedom and cultivated the seeds of unwavering uprisings; they are indeed the martyrs of the Iranian people’s Democratic Revolution.

The untainted blood of those innocent souls massacred in 1988 resonates today in the ongoing uprisings of the Iranian people and continues to inspire and motivate rebellious youths across generations.

 

 

Thousands of PMOI heroes bravely stood their ground, defending their political identity and ideals. They marched to the gallows, shouting ‘Long Live Massoud’ and welcoming their martyrdom. Their aspirations and ideals remain just as relevant in contemporary Iranian society.

The past few months have witnessed the imprisonment of 30,000 defiant young men and women who fearlessly challenged Khamenei’s regime. Among them are selfless and devoted men and women who established the Resistance Units. They are united in their fight for the cause of freedom, equality, and the rejection of oppression.

The People’s Mojahedin, a name that burns with crimson passion in Iran, has emerged from this ideal, painting the dawn with its fiery red spirit.

While the mullahs strive to impose their rule characterized by coercion, tyranny, and oppression, the arisen generation in Iran yearns for freedom and a people’s republic. This is a cause that shall ultimately prevail.

 

 

Thirty-five years ago, during the final days of July, the harrowing specter of death silently and swiftly cast its shadow over the country, targeting anyone who stood their ground as a member of the PMOI, as Khomeini had stated in his fatwa. According to mullah Moghtadaii, an executioner, Khomeini held consecutive meetings with his henchmen, urging them to continue their grim task without the slightest hesitation or fear. Khomeini harbored genocidal intentions, seeking the annihilation of the PMOI, which he perceived as an existential threat to his regime.

As the massacre unfolded in prisons such as Evin and Gohardasht, only a small number of PMOI prisoners remained in other cities. Tragically, in some prison wards, not a single PMOI prisoner survived.
