1988 massacre of political prisoners in Iran was carried out on the basis of a fatwa by the regime’s then-Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini.
A “Death Committee” whose members were appointed by Khomeini oversaw and approved all the death sentences after trials that lasted only a few minutes.
The victims of the 1988 massacre were prisoners who had been convicted by the judiciary of the same regime and many had served their prison sentences and should have been released long before the events of 1988.
They were mostly the members of People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran.
