Media coverage of Iran’s 1988 massacre this past week

Media coverage of Iran’s 1988 massacre this past week

Numerous articles have been published in the international media in the past week about the need for a United Nations investigation into the 1988 massacre of political prisoners in Iran.

The articles were written by survivors of the 1988 massacre, relatives of the victims and international lawmakers.

The human rights group Amnesty International also tweeted to say that in 1988, Iran’s authorities forcibly disappeared and secretly executed thousands of political dissidents. “For more than 30 years, their families have not known when, how and why their loved ones were killed. They seek #truthandjusticenow for these crimes against humanity”, it said.
