The Iranian regime executed a woman and three men on Tuesday. Previously, on August 5, Mostafa Salehi, who was detained in the 2018 major Iran protests was executed.
The mullahs’ incessant executions and human rights violations will continue as long as they enjoy impunity over 1988 massacre of political prisoners.
Since taking power in 1979, the Iranian regime started oppressing any dissent voice. In other words, executions in Iran are a political tool for the mullahs to maintain their grasp on power.
The goal of the regime’s Judiciary, unlike other countries, is to further fortify the regime’s foundations. With hundreds of detained lawyers, such as Nasrin Sotudeh, there is no real “independent lawyers center” or a defense system.
Despite their peaceful activities, dozens of supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) were executed between 1979 and 1981.
Simultaneous with the beginning of organized resistance against the regime, the mullahs’ regime started a political purge to maintain its power and quell the restive Iranian society.
When the regime’s founder, Ruhollah Khomeini, was forced to accept ceasefire with Iraq, his real concern was over the Iranian resistance movement’s activities and a war-torn and restive society.
To pacify this society, he ordered the massacre of all political prisoners, mostly members and supporters of the MEK, who refused to succumb to the regime’s demands.
Thus, 30,000 innocent prisoners were executed only for preserving their ideas, despite all of them previously being tried by the regime’s Judiciary and sentenced to prison terms.
The so-called “death commissions,” who were responsible for sending prisoners to the gallows simply asked one question: What is your charge? If the person said “MEK” or “MEK supporter,” or the word “Mojahed” his or her fate was sealed.
