5 THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO more than 30,000 women and men, of all ages, of all types, of all tastes, united in a single goal; that of Iran s liberation from the clutches of fundamentalist tyranny. They perished in the massacre of 1988, when the orders came to exterminate all political prisoners. The vast majority of them were under thirty; most had been in jail for years, many since they were only thirteen or fourteen years old. As they were being led to execution dozens at a time, day after day, a short poem became popular among prisoners: Every dawn the storm comes To mow the young red roses down But this garden, where the water is blood, Will for ever be full of red roses. This book is dedicated to the countless red roses of the Iranian people s resistance against tyranny.

9 Foreword Crimes against international law are committed by men, not by abstract entities, and only by punishing individuals who commit such crimes can the provisions of international law be enforced (Judgment of the Nuremberg Tribunal, 30th September and 1st October 1946, Cmd. 6964, Misc. No. 12, London: H.M.S.O 1946, p. 41) Even though the Nuremberg Tribunal more than half a century ago set a precedent, under international law, for a universalistic approach to crimes against humanity, the concept of universal jurisdiction over such crimes did not gain broad international acceptance until the world was shaken, once again, by the atrocities in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. The Statute of the International Criminal Court has not yet been ratified by the sixty countries needed for the treaty to come into operation. But UN officials have indicated that with more than 130 signatures, they expect that by mid-2002 the necessary threshold will be reached. The overwhelming support for the ICC reaffirms the strong public support for international accountability and the punishment of perpetrators of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Unfortunately, the jurisdiction of the Court will not be retrospective, and some means have to be found of dealing with exceptionally serious crimes of the recent past. There has been discussion of ad hoc tribunals, and in one case, Sierra Leone, where it is estimated that tens of thousands have been killed, the United Nations is actually setting up a special court to try the leaders who ordered those crimes. i

10 Crime Against Humanity Ayatollah Hossein-Ali Montazeri says that in the first few days of the Iranian massacre in 1988, thousands were killed, and at a conservative estimate, the final death toll was in the region of 30,000. It may be politically impossible to establish a formal means of bringing the culprits to justice, but it must be said that the episode of 1988 presents an unavoidable challenge to the will and consistency of the international community in dealing with such crimes. Moreover, since that time, there has been a constant flow of evidence regarding the merciless extermination by the régime of its political opponents, from human rights NGOs, the Special Rapporteur on Iran of the UN Human Rights Commission, and thousands of individual witnesses. Now, Ayatollah Montazeri has shown that the orders for extrajudicial executions come from the very top. He reproduces in his book the text of the fatwa issued by Khomeini, ordering the deaths of political prisoners. Khomeini wrote: It is decreed that those who are in prisons throughout the country and remain steadfast in their support for the Monafeqin [Mojahedin] are waging war on God and are condemned to execution. The task of implementing the decree in Tehran is entrusted to Hojjatol-Islam Nayyeri, the religious judge, Mr. Eshraqi, the Tehran prosecutor, and a representative of the Intelligence Ministry. Even though a unanimous decision is better, the view of a majority of the three must prevail. In prisons in the provinces, the views of a majority of a trio consisting of the religious judge, the revolutionary prosecutor, and the Intelligence Ministry representative must be obeyed. It is naïve to show mercy to those who wage war on God. The decisive way in which Islam treats the enemies of God is among the unquestionable tenets of the Islamic régime... Those who are making the decisions must not hesitate, nor show any doubt or be concerned with details. They must try to be most ferocious against infidels. This fatwa was issued in July 1988, and the bloodshed continued for the next five months. In March 1989, Le Monde reported: Imam Khomeini summoned the Revolutionary Prosecutor, Hojjatol-Islam Khoeiniha, to instruct him that henceforth all Mojahedin, those in prisons or elsewhere, must be killed for waging war on God. The executions followed summary trials. The trial consisted of various means of pressuring the prisoners to repent, to change their ways and confess. Cases of young Mojahedin who were executed included some who were jailed about eight years earlier, when they were 12 to 14 years old, for taking part in public demonstrations. Edward Mortimer wrote in the Financial Times of August 17, 1988: Iran has resorted to mass executions of political prisoners, possibly intended to forestall or divert attacks on the Government by groups angry at its acceptance of UN peace terms... ii

11 Foreword The people executed were in prison long before these events. Some had been given death sentences which had been suspended, often because the people concerned had formally repented of their crimes and pledged support for the régime. Others had been given prison sentences of which they had already served the greater part, while yet others were still on trial. So the world knew generally what was going on, but the missing piece of the jigsaw was the text of Khomeini s fatwa, though, ironically, another fatwa by Mr. Khomeini issued about six months later, against Salman Rushdie in February 1989, gained much international infamy. The people who carried out the first decree murdered thousands of political prisoners after summary trials that lasted only a few minutes. Most of them, except Khomeini and his son who are dead, continue to occupy the top echelons of power in the Islamic Republic of Iran. It is clear why the moderates colluded with the hardliners for the trial of those involved in the chain murders of dissidents in 1998 to be held in camera. While President Khatami has said there is nothing to hide in the case of the chain murders, almost certainly, some of the officials who were involved in the massacre of 1988 were also guilty parties in the more recent wave of killings. If those responsible for this crime against humanity go free, a terrible injustice will have been done to the victims, their families, and the survivors of the mass executions. The cause of international justice and universality of jurisdiction over crimes against humanity will have been seriously impaired. It is essential that the UN Human Rights Commission should now conduct a proper investigation of the events of 1988, with extra resources allocated to the Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Executions for the purpose. The international community should reserve the right to demand that, in order to comply with accepted norms of justice, a future Iranian government itself should bring to justice those who were responsible for this enormous crime.

13 Introduction A CALL FOR JUSTICE In December 2000, Hossein-Ali Montazeri, a 79-year-old cleric who had been for ten years the designated successor to Khomeini, the supreme ruler of the theocratic regime in Iran, published his memoirs. The book revealed shocking documents on the atrocities committed by the clerical regime, none so horrendous as the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in 1988 on the orders of Khomeini. Montazeri s book was not the first time the world was hearing about this massacre. News of the carnage began to trickle through the iron curtain of censorship imposed by the mullahs to ensure a complete blackout on their crime. By autumn 1988, many human rights organizations and NGOs were already voicing alarm over the mass executions in Iran and urging a full international inquiry. Montazeri s book does possess a unique legal and political value, however, in that he reveals, for the first time, some key documents on the way the massacre began and was conducted. Most important among the documents is the text of Khomeini s fatwa - religious edict that in clergy-ruled Iran has the force of law - ordering the massacre of all political prisoners. Whoever at any stage continues to belong to the Monafeqin [Mojahedin] must be executed. Annihilate the enemies of Islam immediately, Khomeini decreed. v

14 Crime Against Humanity What gives added weight to the revelations is that they are being made by a man who was, at the time of the executions, the officially ordained successor to Khomeini and the second highest authority in the land. Even today, Montazeri makes it clear that he speaks from within the clerical regime, cares about its survival, and in no way condones any action to undermine or change this regime. Indeed, beyond the revelation of certain key documents and facts, Montazeri attempts to whitewash the role of the highest levels of government in the carnage. The documents and accounts in Montazeri s memoirs complement and corroborate thousands of substantive reports and official complaints by eyewitnesses and families of the victims of the massacre. They prove beyond a shadow of doubt that the most senior officials of the clerical regime took part in the implementation of the policy of exterminating political prisoners in Speaking on French television in February 1989, Hashemi Rafsanjani, the then acting commander in chief of the armed forces and Speaker of the Majlis, said that the number of political prisoners executed in the past few months was less than 1,000 (Iran Yearbook 89/90). The then President Ali Khamenei, now the regime s Supreme Leader, told a meeting at Tehran University: As regards mass executions... those in prison who had contacts with the Monafeqin, who mounted an armed incursion against the Islamic Republic, do you think we should have given these prisoners sweets for this?... They are condemned to death and we execute them. We do not joke with this (Tehran radio, December 5, 1988). The newspaper Iran News wrote about Khomeini s decree: This decree was issued at a time when President Mohammad Khatami was the Director of Ideological and Cultural Affairs of the Armed Forces' High Command. He implemented the Imam s decree in the most decisive manner, (Iran News, April 10, 2000). Another state-controlled daily, Ressalat, wrote the same day: Mr. Khatami, who was the Director of Cultural Affairs of the Armed Forces' High Command, vigorously supported the Imam's decree, (Ressalat, April 10, 2000). Abdulkarim Moussavi Ardebili, the Chief Justice at the time of the carnage, declared publicly: They must all be executed There is not going to be any more of this sentencing and appeals (Tehran radio, August 6, 1988). The Paris-based Le Monde wrote in March 1989: Imam Khomeini summoned the Revolutionary Prosecutor, Hojjatol-Islam Khoeiniha, to instruct him that henceforth all of the Mojahedin, those in prisons or anywhere else, should be executed for waging war on God. The executions followed summary trials. The trial consisted of various means of pressuring the prisoners to repent, to change their ways and confess Cases of young Mojahedin who were executed included some who were jailed about eight years ago, when 12 to 14 years old, for taking part in public vi

15 A Call for Justice demonstrations (Le Monde, March 1, 1989). The massacre that went on in Iran s prisons in the second half of 1988 undoubtedly fits into the category of crimes against humanity; crimes that are so serious as to mandate universal enforcement, jurisdiction, and responsibility. The Iranian Resistance has presented to the relevant international authorities the files on twenty-one senior leaders and officials of the Iranian regime who have acted as the principal protagonists of the massacre. It has called on the United Nations Security Council to establish a tribunal to indict and try these individuals on the basis of international law and legal precedents that range from the Nuremberg Tribunal at the end of the Second World War to the international criminal tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, mandated by Security Council resolutions. The individuals whose indictment by an international tribunal has been requested are as follows: Name Position in 1988 Current Position Ali Khamenei President Supreme Leader Ali-Akbar Hashemi Acting Commander in Chief Head of the State Exigencies Rafsanjani of the Armed Forces, Majlis Council Speaker Mohammad Khatami Minister of Guidance, Director President of Cultural Division in Armed Forces High Command Abdulkarim Moussavi Chief Justice Marja Taqlid (religious guide) Ardebili based in Qom Mohammad Moussavi Chief Revolutionary Prosecutor Leader of Khatami s faction Khoeiniha Mohammad Mohammadi Intelligence Minister Khamenei s rep. in Hajj (Mecca Rayshahri pilgrimage) Ali Fallahian (Senior) Deputy Intelligence Member of Assembly of Experts Minister Jaafar Nayyeri Religious judge and head of Deputy President of the the revolutionary tribunals Supreme Court Mostafa Pourmohammadi Deputy Intelligence Minister Advisor for Security to Khamenei Morteza Eshraghi Tehran prosecutor Senior judicial official vii

Other crimes include, inter alia, systematic torture, ethnically- and religiouslymotivated genocide, institutionalized discrimination against women and systematic rape of women and girls in prisons, persecution on political and cultural grounds, and assassination of hundreds of dissidents outside Iran. In the face of such compelling evidence on one of the most gruesome massacres since the Second World War, the United Nations and its organs have a historical and moral duty to act. If these crimes are to be left unpunished, a terrible injustice will have been perpetrated upon the victims and survivors of these crimes, along with their families. But more importantly, it would make a mockery of the exercise of universal jurisdiction over such crimes. It would raise the obvious question, for example, that would the perpetrators of crimes against humanity in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia have been brought to justice if their governments were exporting oil and offering lucrative business to the outside world? The Iranian Resistance requests the active assistance and solidarity of all those who care for justice and human rights to bring about the establishment of a United Nations-mandated international tribunal for Iran. viii

17 A Call for Justice Who is Hossein-Ali Montazeri? Memoirs of Grand Ayatollah Hossein-Ali Montazeri is the name of a voluminous book published in December 2000 in Qom, 140 km south of Tehran, where Montazeri resides. The book has been compiled by a group of theological students of the Grand Ayatollah and personally endorsed by himself. Translated excerpts of the book that deal with some of the most shocking examples of the clerical regime s crimes against humanity appear in this book. Who is Hossein-Ali Montazeri? He was a long-time companion of Khomeini who studied and later taught theology in Qom for decades under the reign of the Shah and his father. In the 1960s, he supported Khomeini, who had been exiled to Iraq. Montazeri was imprisoned by the Shah s secret police for several years in the 60s and 70s. By 1978, when the mass protest movement against the Shah manifested itself on the streets, Montazeri became a prominent figure among the clergy who were to take the helm of the state after the overthrow of the Shah in February Montazeri was carefully groomed by Khomeini to become his successor and was officially ordained as the "designated successor to the Leader" by the Assembly of Experts. But relations between Khomeini and Montazeri began to sour after 1981 and the split finally burst into the open after the leak in March 1989of Montazeri s letters to Khomeini, in which he had sharply criticized the ruler s decree for the massacre of all political prisoners in Iran. Soon afterwards, Khomeini publicly disgraced Montazeri and removed him from his position. Montazeri s status in the mullahs hierarchy and his access to the clerical state s innermost secrets turn his revelation of some of the crimes against humanity by the mullahs regime into a potent evidence that is mostly corroborated by thousands of eyewitness accounts and other substantiated reports. ix

19 I A Damning Document Excerpts from The Memoirs of Grand Ayatollah Hossein-Ali Montazeri Khomeini s decree on massacre of political prisoners in Iran Q. It appears that Your Eminence wrote a letter to Imam Khomeini in connection with the execution of the Monafeqin [Mojahedin] in prisoners after the Monafeqin s offensive into the Islamic Republic, the Mersad or Eternal Light operation. What was the situation and what made it necessary to write the letter? Montazeri:...What prompted me to write the letter was that at the time (in 1988) certain people had decided to liquidate the Mojahedin and get rid of them once and for all. They received a letter from the Imam stating that all individuals from the Mojahedin who have been in prison from any time in the past must be executed if a majority of a three-man panel composed of the prosecutor, the religious judge, and an Intelligence Ministry representative in any area vote that the prisoner is holding firmly to his belief. In other words, if two out of the three members of the panel thought that prisoner X was still supporting the Mojahedin, even if he had been sentenced previously to one or two or five years or more in prison, he must be executed. The Imam s letter was undated, but it was written on a Thursday. On Saturday, a religious judge brought me a copy and was extremely distressed. I read the letter. It was very sharply written in response to the Mojahedin s operation and it was said to be in [Khomeini s son] Haj Ahmad s handwriting. As the letter was sent to all the judges in the country, it is permissible to read it for you, so you can grasp the reality of the situation as it was at that time:

20 Crime Against Humaity Doc. No. 152 Imam Khomeini s letter in connection with the execution of steadfast Monafeqin [Mojahedin] in prisons: In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful, As the treacherous Monafeqin [Mojahedin] do not believe in Islam and what they say is out of deception and hypocrisy, and as their leaders have confessed that they have become renegades, and as they are waging war on God, and as they are engaging in classical warfare in the western, the northern and the southern fronts, and as they are collaborating with the Baathist Party of Iraq and spying for Saddam against our Muslim nation, and as they are tied to the World Arrogance, and in light of their cowardly blows to the Islamic Republic since its inception, it is decreed that those who are in prisons throughout the country and remain steadfast in their support for the Monafeqin [Mojahedin], are waging war on God and are condemned to execution. The task of implementing the decree in Tehran is entrusted to Hojjatol-Islam Nayyeri, the religious judge, Mr. Eshraqi, the Tehran prosecutor, and a representative of the Intelligence Ministry. Even though a unanimous decision is better, the view of a majority of the three must prevail. In prisons in the provinces, the views of a majority of a trio consisting of the religious judge, the revolutionary prosecutor, and the Intelligence Ministry representative must be obeyed. It is naive to show mercy to those who wage war on God. The decisive way in which Islam treats the enemies of God is among the unquestionable tenets of the Islamic regime. I hope that with your revolutionary rage and vengeance toward the enemies of Islam, you would achieve the satisfaction of the Almighty God. Those who are making the decisions must not hesitate, nor show any doubt or be concerned with details. They must try to be most ferocious against infidels. To have doubts about the judicial matters of revolutionary Islam is to ignore the pure blood of martyrs. Ruhollah Moussavi Khomeini 20

21 A Damning Document The preceding letter is not dated, but Haj Ahmad has written on the back of the original decree: My Pre-eminent Father, His Eminence the Imam, With greetings, [Chief Justice] Ayatollah Moussavi Ardebili has telephoned to raise three ambiguities about Your Eminence s recent decree on the Monafeqin [Mojahedin]: 1. Does the decree apply to those who have been in prison, who have already been tried and sentenced to death, but have not changed their stance and the verdict has not yet been carried out, or are those who have not yet been tried are also condemned to death? 2. Those Monafeqin [Mojahedin] prisoners who have received limited jail terms, and who have already served part of their terns, but continue to hold fast to their stance in support of the Monafeqin [Mojahedin], are they also condemned to death? 3. In reviewing the status of the Monafeqin [Mojahedin] prisoners, is it necessary to refer the cases of Monafeqin [Mojahedin] prisoners in counties that have an independent judicial organ to the provincial center, or can the county s judicial authorities act autonomously? Your son, Ahmad Underneath the letter, the Imam s reply was written: In the name of God, the Most High, In all the above cases, if the person at any stage or at any time maintains his [or her] support for the Monafeqin [Mojahedin], the sentence is execution. Annihilate the enemies of Islam immediately. As regards the cases, use whichever criterion that speeds up the implementation of the verdict. Ruhollah Moussavi Khomeini I subsequently wrote to Ayatollah Moussavi Ardebili, the then head of the Supreme Judicial Council: Were it not your judges who condemned these prisoners 21

22 Crime Against Humaity to five or ten years in jail? Were you not responsible? So how is it that you telephone Haj Ahmad and ask him should we execute them in Kashan or in Isfahan? You should have gone to the Imam and told him that if someone has been in jail for some time and has been sentenced to five years, and had no news of Monafeqin s [Mojahedin s] operation, how can we execute him? They have not committed a new crime for which we could try them. Finally, they executed 2,800 or 3,800 women and men in the country (I doubt which figure is right). Even those who were saying their prayers and fasting were summoned and would be told to recant. The prisoner would find this offensive to his personality and would refuse. Then they would say, so you are steadfast in your position, and would have him executed. One of the judicial officials in Qom came to see me and complained about the head of the Intelligence Department in Qom. He said: The man says let us kill them off as quickly as we can and get rid of them. The judicial official would complain and say: Let us at least look at the file and review the sentence, but the intelligence official would reply: The Imam has issued the verdict; all we have to do is to ascertain that the prisoner is holding fast to his views [supporting the Mojahedin]. The judicial official told me that they would ask prisoners: Are you still holding to your views? To which the prisoners would respond yes, unaware of the consequences. Then they take them immediately for execution. I finally felt that this was not the correct way of doing things and decided to write a letter to the Imam... I sat down and wrote the following letter: Doc. No. 153 Letter to the Imam in protest over the execution of prisoners who were serving their sentences in jails Date: July 31, 1988 In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful, His Exalted Eminence Imam Khomeini, With greetings, I would like to apprise Your Eminence that following your recent decree for the execution of the Monafeqin [Mojahedin] who remain in prisons, the nation tolerates the execution 22

23 A Damning Document of the detainees of recent events and they apparently have no adverse consequences, but the execution of those who were already in prison has the following consequences: 1. These executions are perceived as an act of vengeance and a vendetta, considering the present state of affairs; 2. Many families, even those who are pious and revolutionary, are distressed and aggrieved by these executions, and have turned their backs to our regime; 3. Many of the prisoners who are not holding fast to their views are being treated by the officials as if they were; 4. At a time when under the attacks and pressures of Saddam and the Monafeqin [Mojahedin], we are attracting some sympathy around the world and many newspapers and personalities are defending us, it is unwise for the regime and yourself to have the propaganda turn against us; 5. While these people have been sentenced by our courts to prison terms, to execute them without any process and new activity is a complete disregard for all judicial standards and judges rulings. This will not reflect well on our regime; 6. Our judicial officials, prosecutors and intelligence officials are not perfect and there is plenty of opportunity for mistakes and unduly influenced decisions. With Your Eminence s recent decree, many people who have light charges or are innocent are executed; 7. We have not so far benefited from these killings and violence. We have only stirred more propaganda against ourselves and we have increased the appeal of the Monafeqin [Mojahedin] and the counterrevolutionaries. It is appropriate to treat them with mercy for a time so as to attract the sympathies of many of them; 8. If you insist on your decree, then at least issue an order so that the judge, the prosecutor and the intelligence official would have to reach a consensus for execution. They must particularly spare women with children. The execution of several thousand prisoners in a few days will not have positive repercussions and will not be mistake-free. Even some of our religious judges were very distressed by this. Hossein-Ali Montazeri 23

24 Crime Against Humaity Text of Montazeri s letter to Khomeini on 31 July 1988, complaining that mass execution of Mojahedin prisoners will only enhance their legitimacy and popular appeal 24

25 A Damning Document A few days later, a judge from Khuzistan by the name of Hojjatol-Islam Mohammad Hossein Ahmadi came to see me and was very distressed. He told me: Over there, they are executing them with great speed. They conjure up a majority vote out of the three-member panel. They are angry about the Monafeqin s operation, but are venting their anger on the prisoners. I conveyed what he told me in the following letter to the Imam: Doc. No. 154 The second letter to Imam Khomeini on this issue Date: August 2, 1988 In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful, His Exalted Eminence Imam Khomeini, With greetings, pursuant to my letter of July 31, 1988, I write the following out of my sense of religious duty: Three days ago, a religious judge from one of the provinces, who is a trustworthy man, came to see me in Qom and was in great distress because of the way Your Eminence s decree is being implemented. He said: The intelligence chief or the prosecutor (I forget which) was trying to ascertain if a prisoner was still holding fast to his beliefs. He asked the prisoner if he was prepared to condemn the Monafeqin [Mojahedin], he said yes. He asked him: Are you willing to go to the front to fight in the war with Iraq? He said, Yes. They asked, Are you willing to walk over mines*? He said, Do you mean all the people are willing to walk over mines? Moreover, you must not have such high expectations from someone who has just changed his views. They said, It is obvious that you are still holding on to your political beliefs, and dealt with him in the same way they dealt with those who had held onto their previous political positions (and executed him). The judge told me how much he insisted that the verdict be issued by consensus, or a majority, but this was not accepted, because it is the intelligence official who has absolute control and others are under his influence. Your Eminence can see what type of persons are 25

26 Crime Against Humaity implementing your grave decree that affects the lives of thousands of prisoners. Hossein-Ali Montazeri * By walk over mines, the prosecutor was referring to the commonly used tactics by the Revoultionary Guards in the Iran-Iraq war of sending waves of boy soldiers across minefields to clear the way for the Guards advance. Hundreds of thousands of young Iranians perished in these human wave attacks. But I noticed that they were still continuing the executions. On the first of [the lunar month of] Moharram*, I summoned Mr. Nayyeri, the religious judge of Evin, Mr. Eshraqi, the prosecutor, Mr. Raissi, the deputy prosecutor, and Mr. Pourmohammadi, the Intelligence Ministry representative. I said to them: Now is the month of Moharram and at least halt the executions during this month. Mr. Nayyeri replied: We have executed 750 prisoners in Tehran and have separated 200 others as those who are sticking to their views. Once we finish off this lot, you can order as you wish... I became much dismayed and made several points and gave them a copy of the main points in the form of a memorandum: * In Moslem tradition, following ancient Arab customs, fighting and bloodshed are banned in the month of Moharram. 26

28 Crime Against Humaity Doc. No. 155 Memorandum addressed to Mr. Nayyeri, the religious judge, Mr. Eshraqi, the prosecutor, Mr. Raissi, the deputy prosecutor, and Mr. Pourmohammadi, the Intelligence Ministry representative in Evin Prison for implementation of the Imam s decree Date: August 15, 1988 In the Name of God, the Most High, 1. I have received more blows from the Monafeqin [Mojahedin] than all of you, both in prison and outside. My son was martyred by them. If it was a question of revenge, I should pursue it more than you. But I seek the expediency and interests of the revolution, Islam, the Supreme Leader, and the Islamic state. I am worried about the judgment that posterity and history will pass upon us. 2. Such massacres without trial, particularly when the victims are prisoners and those in captivity, will definitely benefit them in the long run. The world will condemn us and they will be further encouraged to wage armed struggle. It is wrong to confront ideas and ideologies with killings. 3. Look at the behavior of Prophet [Mohammad] and how he treated his enemies after the conquest of Mecca and the Battle of Hawazen. The Prophet showed mercy and amnesty and was given the title of the Mercy of both worlds by the Almighty. Look how Imam Ali treated his enemies after defeating them in the Battle of Jamal. 4. Many of these people who are holding fast to their beliefs are doing so in reaction to the way they have been treated by interrogators and prison wardens, otherwise they might have been flexible. 5. To argue that if we released these prisoners, they would rejoin the Monafeqin [Mojahedin] is not sufficient to characterize them as Mohareb (waging war on God) and of having mutinied against God. Imam Ali did not punish Ibn Moljem (his assassin), before he actually carried out the crime, even though he said before hand that he (Ibn Moljem) is my killer The beliefs of a person, per se, are not sufficient grounds to declare him as someone who is waging war on God or rebelling against 28

29 A Damning Document the Almighty. Even if it is supposed that the [Mojahedin] leaders are renegades, their supporters cannot be given the same verdict. 7. Judgment must be made in an environment free of emotions. The social environment now is not conducive to justice due to sloganeering and propaganda. We are upset with the Monafeqin s crime in the west, but are taking it out on prisoners and former prisoners. Executing people who have not carried out any new activities will cast doubt on previous judges and all previous judgments. According to which standard do you execute a prisoner whom you have previously given a lesser sentence? At present, prison visits and telephone calls have been cut off, but how will you answer the families tomorrow? 8. I, more than anybody, care about the prestige of His Eminence the Imam as the Supreme Leader. I do not know how things are being presented to him. Should we say that all that we were studying in Islamic jurisprudence about taking caution when dealing with people s blood and properties were wrong? 9. I have met with a number of just and pious judges who were dismayed and complained about the way the decree is being implemented. They said there is too much extremism and cited numerous cases of people being executed without any reason. 10. In conclusion, the People s Mojahedin are not individuals; they are an ideology, and a world outlook. They have a logic. It takes right logic to answer wrong logic. You cannot rectify wrong with killings; you only spread it. Hossein-Ali Montazeri Mr. Eslami, who was the revolutionary prosecutor in Fars province, came to see me with a file about the execution of a girl. He said: I opposed her execution, but they executed her as they outnumbered me two to one. Hojjatol-Islam Hossein-Ali Ansari, who was my representative in prisons, said: There were six or seven brothers in one prison who were pious and said we turned away from the Monafeqin, but the authorities want us to recant on television and we refuse to do so, as this is a dishonorable thing for us... The officials in the prison said this showed that they were still supporting [the Mojahedin] and executed them. They only spared one of them, who had been paralyzed [in prison]. This is how things were being carried out. 29

31 A Damning Document Doc. No. 157 Text of letter sent to Imam Khomeini by the religious judge of Islamic Revolutionary Courts in Khuzistan on the manner of implementation of His Eminence s decree on the Monafeqin [Mojahedin]: In the Name of God, the Most High, His Eminence Imam Khomeini, With greetings, I would like to bring to Your Eminence s attention some points on the recent decree you issued with regard to the Monafeqin, even though I am much too humble to talk about this. But as my religious duty requires and in a bid to seek guidance, I wish to point out that the issue of whether a person is holding fast to his support for the Monafeqin is subject to different interpretations. Different viewpoints and tastes vary between the extremes and I have brought detailed cases to the attention of Haj Ahmad and refrain from repeating them. As an example, in Dezful prison, several prisoners named Taher Ranjbar, Mostafa Behzadi, Ahmad Assekh, and Mohammad Reza Ashou, were prepared to condemn the Monafeqin and even recant on radio and television or before other prisoners. But the Intelligence Ministry official asked them: Are you prepared to fight for the Islamic Republic in the war or in the cities? Some wavered and some said no. The intelligence official said they are still holding on to their positions, as they were not willing to fight for our just regime. I told the official, should we therefore say that the majority of the Iranian people who are not willing to go to the front are also supporters of the Monafeqin? He replied: These people are different from ordinary folks. The above-named prisoners were all executed, except the last one who managed to escape on the way to the execution yard. I therefore urge Your Eminence to clarify some uniform standards so that officials would not go to the extreme and commit mistakes.

32 Crime Against Humaity Execution of children Doc. No. 128 Letter to Imam Khomeini, dated September 27, 1981 The situation in the Revolutionary Courts is such that honest and sincere elements within these institutions are saying that the current situation in Evin Prison and many prisons in the provinces is very disturbing and appalling. These include arbitrary executions,... and even the execution of girls as young as thirteen years old, simply because they uttered some tough words, while they bore no arms and took part in no demonstration. The pressures (on prisoners) and practice of intolerable torture and corporal punishment are on the rise. Prisons are so overcrowded that often five prisoners must stay in a solitary cell under inhuman conditions. They are not even allowed to say their prayers... Systematic Use of Torture Doc. No. 142 Letter to Imam Khomeini, dated October 8, Do you know that crimes are being committed in the prisons of the Islamic Republic in the name of Islam the like of which was never seen in the Shah s evil regime? Do you know that a large number of prisoners have been killed under torture by their interrogators? Do you know that in Mashad prison, some 25 girls had to have their ovaries or uterus removed as a result of what had been done to them, and because there were no physicians and medical care? Do you know that in Shiraz prison, a girl who was fasting in the month of Ramadan was executed on petty charges immediately after breaking her fast? Do you know that in some prisons of the Islamic Republic young 32

33 A Damning Document girls are being raped by force? Do you know that interrogators foulmouth the girls and use disgusting words to insult them while interrogating them? Do you know that as a result of unruly torture, many prisoners have become deaf or paralyzed or afflicted with chronic diseases? And there is no one to listen to their complaints? Do you know that in some prisons, prisoners have even been banned from performing their Muslim rites? Do you know that in some prisons prisoners are not allowed to see daylight, not for one or two days, but for months on end? Do you know that even once a prisoner is tried and receives a sentence, he is beaten and abused? No doubt Your Eminence would be told that these are lies and Montazeri is naive. But let me also report to Your Eminence, if you permit me, what is happening outside prisons: Do you know that people, while traveling in buses and taxis and waiting in queues for chickens, eggs, vegetable oil and beef or waiting in queues at petrol stations, are openly cursing the officials of the Islamic Republic, including, I regret to say, yourself? Do you know that the (Shiite) clergy and clergymen are reviled by the people? Do you know that even those who come to Friday prayers are mostly disenchanted and curse the authorities? Do you know that bribery is rampant everywhere in government offices, ministries, and unfortunately in some prosecutors offices and courts? Do you know that huge embezzlements of government funds are hushed up with some bribes, a telephone call, or a recommendation, while petty thieves are prosecuted? Do you know that there have been so many robberies and thefts and plundering by persons in the uniforms of Revolutionary Guards and Komiteh agents that people feel no security for their lives and properties? Do you know that more than two million Iranians are living in exile and many women have resorted to prostitution and discredited Iran and Iranians in the eyes of foreigners? Do you know that poverty and high costs of living are putting intolerable pressures on the people? While the average income and 33

34 Crime Against Humaity salaries are the same as they were before, prices have jumped ten to twenty times higher. How can the poor live in such conditions? Do you know that contrary to what we studied in Islamic jurisprudence, in the Islamic Republic a Muslim s right to life is not respected, nor is his property... Do you know that most good judges have become disillusioned and have resigned, leaving behind corrupt or weak individuals as judges? Do you know that... everyday about a million Iranians go to doctors and pharmacies and hospitals and clinics, but the vast majority of them return unsatisfied and disenchanted? This is not because of the war, but because of mismanagement and lack of planning... Do you know that drug addiction is rampant in this country, and that executions, prisons, island concentration camps, etc., are no longer effective?... In conclusion, it is my view that the country is on a downward spiral and the majority of the people are disenchanted... For eight years, we have been ruling the country through violence, numerous executions, and inappropriate confiscation, and we have not got anywhere. Arbitrary Justice Our judges were very inexperienced. To give you an example, they brought to me a case where the judge had written this as his verdict: In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful, execution. Execute who? For what reason? The judge had simply written one word without mentioning his reasons, not even the convict s name. Just the word execution and his signature were there and you could arrest and execute anyone with a verdict like this! That was our judiciary in those years: they would arrest people with great speed and then there would be immediate calls for execution. Haj Seyyed Jaafar Karimi told me that he had seen a case where a judge had given an accused six months imprisonment. The case was retried by another judge and this one sentenced him to death. This was how uncoordinated things were. Once I was in Najafabad and I was told about two persons who had 34

35 A Damning Document been sentenced to death. One was the thirteen-year-old daughter of Haj Taqi Rajai. I knew their family well; they were pious and lived in Najafabad. The other was Mr. Lessani, who had been a good friend of my son. They were said to have been influenced and recruited by the People s Mojahedin, and were sentenced to execution for this reason. I must point out here that one of the things that should have been done after the revolution s victory was to organize and guide these revolutionary forces. The People s Mojahedin identified and recruited them in an organized manner. People looked on them favorably and young people were deluded by their slogans. People who were being arrested and interrogated for belonging to the Mojahedin should have been treated in a subtle and wise way and if they had been handled correctly, it would have been possible to turn them away from the Mojahedin. They told me that these two persons had been sentenced to death. I asked what they had been charged with. They said the thirteen-yearold girl had been asked by the interrogator: Don t you believe in the Imam if you are saying these things? She said, with youthful pride: No, I don t. I once told the Imam: If someone says I like Massoud Rajavi more than the mullahs, and I don t like Mr. Khomeini, but I have nothing to do with politics and I am just minding my own business, and if we know he is telling the truth, should we jail him? The Imam replied: No, why should we? I never thought that these two persons would be executed any time soon, and said to myself that I would follow up their cases later. But they came to me the next day and said: The two of them were executed last night! I was utterly shocked. The same sort of things was going on everywhere else in the country and I was by and large informed of them... Mr. Moussavi Ardebili, the then Chief Justice, told me of the case of the son of Dr. Shariat, who had been executed. He said: This 16- year-old boy was a revolutionary and was not with the Mojahedin and other groups. He kept a diary and noted everyday the sort of things he found wrong in the government, according to his own understanding. When the judiciary discovered the diary, they executed him simply because of the notes he had written in it. Even Mr. Ardebili said he was baffled by the execution. 35

36 Crime Against Humaity Tortured Political Prisoners Become Insane Ayatollah Seyyed Jaafar Karimi was among the persons assigned by the Imam to look into prison conditions, as this issue was creating plenty of problems for us. One day Karimi came to see me and said: We went to visit Hessarak Prison (or Qezel Hessar), near Mardabad. We saw a door that was covered with a black blanket and a rug. Inside, it was so dark you could not tell the day from the night. About ten prisoners were being held in that room. We came across a girl, one of the prisoners, who was eating her own feces. She had been so much tortured and harassed that she had become deranged. But they were still keeping her in jail. [The girl was among a group of 200 to 300 girls who had been arrested essentially for having read the Mojahedin s statements and some of them had become mentally disturbed while in prison. ] Atrocities in Prisons Across the Country Doc. No. 97 Report submitted to Imam Khomeini by a member of the delegation appointed by Grand Ayatollah Montazeri on prison conditions In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful, His Exalted Eminence, the Great Commander of the Faithful and the Imam of the Ummah, Grand Ayatollah Imam Khomeini, With greetings, My humble self, in the company of several personalities trusted by the Grand Ayatollah Montazeri, the exalted Deputy Leader, have visited the prisons and detention centers of the 36

37 A Damning Document cities of Yazd, Shahr-e Babak, Sirjan, Bandar-Abbas, Jiroft and Birjand. The visit was carried out in accordance with instructions given by Grand Ayatollah Montazeri in order to witness the treatment accorded to prisoners by the honorable officials and the prisoners food and other issues, and also listen to the prisoners. We presented a brief report on our visit to Grand Ayatollah Montazeri and His Eminence wished that the report be brought to Your Eminence s attention, even if Your Eminence are already aware of the situation. We emphasize that the prisoners were warned that they must not commit another crime by telling lies about the honorable officials, as this would necessitate further physical punishment for the prisoners. We saw a number of Iranian and non-iranian prisoners whose hair had been pulled out, their arms and legs broken, their toes and fingers smashed, their teeth broken. They had scars on their bodies. A woman from Mashad said that she had been arrested during the month of Ramadan while she was pregnant and had been beaten so much that she miscarried her child. Prisoners claimed that two of them had been beaten to death. Even non-political prisoners in Bandar-Abbas, Sirjan and elsewhere said that the scars on their bodies were caused by flogging with electric cables, kicking, burning the skin with lighters, being dragged by a car, being burnt with kerosene and petrol, etc. One prisoner said his genitals had been burnt with a piece of wood soaked in gasoil. Some claimed that they had medical certificates to prove their claims and some gave their names and particulars for follow-up of their cases. Mahmoud Mohammadi Yazdi 37

39 II How Many Executions? Mojahedin s statement on Montazeri s revelations The following are excerpts from a statement by the People s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, issued on December 17, 2000, on the dimensions of the massacre of political prisoners: 1. It is regrettable that Mr. Montazeri, as the second highest authority in the country at the time of the massacre of political prisoners in 1988, fails to reveal in his recent book the real number of executed political prisoners in that carnage, nor does he mention the duration of the massacre. He does not say, for example, how many political prisoners were jailed from 1981 to 1988, while his representatives were present in the prisons during that period and Mr. Montazeri is undoubtedly aware of the figures. He does not say how many political prisoners there were prior to the massacre, and how many survived. How were the killings carried out? And for how long? Where were the bodies buried? And how many people were executed by the time the carnage came to a halt? 2. The first reference that Mr. Montazeri makes to the number of executed prisoners covers only the first days of the massacre, when he wrote: Finally, they executed 2,800 or 3,800 women and men in the country (I doubt which figure is right)... I felt that this was not the correct way of doing things and decided to write a letter to the Imam.

40 Crime Against Humaity Mr. Montazeri then proceeds to describe the first letter he wrote to Khomeini on this issue, dated July 31, In this letter, Montazeri mentions the massacre of political prisoners and writes in the last paragraph: The execution of several thousand prisoners in a few days will not have positive repercussions and will not be mistake-free. While Montazeri clearly states that by July 31, in the first days of the massacre, the number of mass executions reached 2,800 or 3,800 or, as he wrote in his letter, several thousand prisoners, he does not mention any figure for the number of executions at the end of the massacre and repeats the figures of 2,800 or 3,800. It is also clear from the contents of his first letter to Khomeini that by July 31, he was still unaware of the mass executions in the provinces and the figures he gives refer only to Tehran. 3. Mr. Montazeri also wrote in his memoirs: A few days later, a judge from Khuzistan by the name of Hojjatol-Islam Mohammad Hossein Ahmadi came to see me and was very distressed. He told me: Over there, they are executing them with great speed. They conjure up a majority vote out of the three-member panel. They are angry about the Monafeqin s operation, but are venting our anger on the prisoners. Mr. Montazeri says that following this meeting, he wrote a second letter to Khomeini, dated August 2, 1988, in which he protested against the procedures. 4. Mr. Montazeri notes that after writing the second letter to Khomeini, I noticed that they were still continuing the executions. On the first of Moharram, I summoned Mr. Nayyeri, the religious judge of Evin, and Mr. Eshraqi, the prosecutor, and Mr. Raissi, the deputy prosecutor, and Mr. Pour-Mohammadi, the Intelligence Ministry representative. I said to them: Now is the month of Moharram and at least halt the executions during this month. The first day of the month of Moharram coincided with August 13, Mr. Montazeri thus makes it clear that mass executions were going on with the same intensity up to that point. 5. Mr. Montazeri writes in the following section: Later, they obtained a letter from the Imam for non-religious prisoners. At the time, there were about 500 nonreligious and atheist prisoners. The aim was to liquidate these prisoners, as well, and get rid of them. Several weeks separate Montazeri s August 14 letter and the new fatwa by Khomeini which concerned the execution of non-mojahedin prisoners. Investigations by the Mojahedin at the time showed that Khomeini s second fatwa (which dealt with non-mojahedin prisoners), was issued on September 6 or thereabouts. In other words, by the time this new fatwa was issued, mass execution of Mojahedin political prisoners in Tehran had been going on with great ferocity for more than 40 days. 40

41 How Many Executions? 6.In his memmorandum to the members of the death committee in Tehran on August 15, 1988, Mr. Montazeri referred to the execution of prisoners and former prisoners. The reference to former prisoners being executed was prompted by the fact that once the massacre of political prisoners got underway, the clerical regime launched a nationwide effort to re-arrest former political prisoners, as Khomeini s fatwa stressed that all Mojahedin supporters and members must be executed. The French daily, Le Monde, wrote: Imam Khomeini summoned the Revolutionary Prosecutor, Hojattol-Islam Khoeiniha, to instruct him that hencefore all of the Mojahedin, those in prison and elsewhere, must be executed for waging war on God (Le Monde, March 1, 1989). According to reports from across Iran, thousands of former political prisoners and Mojahedin supporters were rounded up over a period of several months in 1988 and most were executed. 7 - Mr. Kamal Afkhami Ardekani, a former official at Evin prison, has said in testimonies to human rights rapporteurs of the United Nations: In July 1988, after Khomeini issued a fatwa ordering the massacre of Mojahedin prisoners, a meeting was held in Evin prison in which the following persons participated (the positions mentioned here are the positions they held at the time): Ebrahim Raissi, Tehran s deputy prosecutor, Mohammad Mohammadi Rayshahri, the Intelligence Minister, Gholam-Hossein [Mohseni] Ezhei, a top judiciary official, [Seyyed Hossein] Mortazavi, the governor of Evin, [Ali] Mobasheri and [Jaafar] Nayyeri, religious judges based in Evin prison. There they agreed on the procedures for carrying out Khomeini s orders. They would line up prisoners in a 14-by-5-meter hall in the central office building of Evin. The maximum capacity of the hall was 180 prisoners. They would then ask simply one question: What is your political affiliation? Those who said the Mojahedin, would be hanged from cranes that had been in position behind the building. Prisoners were hanged in Evin prison with six cranes and three fork-lift trucks. Each time, 33 people would be hanged. On each crane, there was an iron beam and five ropes were suspended from the beam. The six cranes were positioned in these locations: one was placed next to the administrative courtroom building, two were placed next to Ward 325, three were placed next to the special ward for the clergy and the central administrative building. The fork-lift trucks, each fitted with a beam with four ropes, were placed in the parking lot outside the prosecutor s office. The parking lot was also used as an execution yard. There was a crane in the garage next to the parking lot and that was also used for executions. The mass executions began in late July, Every half an hour, 33 persons 41

42 Crime Against Humaity were being hanged by these cranes and the process went on and on without any interruption. The bodies were examined by Dr. Ata Foroughi, who was head of the prison s clinic, and Dr. Mirza i, who was head of Lajevardi s office. [Assadollah Lajevardi was the former governor of Evin Prison and the most notorious executioner and torturer in the mullahs regime. Later he became the head of the State Prisons Organization.] Once they were pronounced dead, the bodies would be piled into covered trucks and taken out of prison. The trucks had been on loan from Evin s police station. Some of the trucks belonged to Evin prison itself. The same procedure went on for two weeks, from 7:30 am until 5 pm. Soon they were also using the parking lot for the executions and the number of executions every half-hour reached 37 to 40. On the basis of these revelations by a former official of Evin prison, we can safely extrapolate that if 19 rounds of executions were carried out every day, and in each round 30 prisoners were hanged, then at least 570 prisoners were being executed in Evin prison every day. In 14 days, the number of executions exceed 8,000. Bearing in mind that executions were continuing even after two weeks, and that by early September Khomeini issued another decree ordering the execution of non-mojahedin prisoners who, according to Montazeri, numbered about 500, then the number of male prisoners executed in Evin prison was more than 10,000. There were thousands of women prisoners, many of whom were executed. In addition, there were thousands of inmates in other jails in and around Tehran, including Gohardasht, where the massacre was carried out with equal ferocity. When all these are added together, the number of executions in Tehran jails becomes exceedingly high. One must also bear in mind that the Iranian Resistance had revealed a list of 635 prisons with addresses and their specifications, which gives an idea of the magnitude of the carnage. 8. Montazeri does not mention the cities and towns where the massacre of political prisoners took place, nor does he say how many prisoners were executed in each city. But reports compiled by the Mojahedin show that the carnage went on in at least 100 cities and towns across the country. In many of these cities, not a single political prisoner was left alive. These cities included Kermanshah, Zanjan, Mashad, Arak, Hamedan, Orumieh, Semnan, Rudsar, Ahwaz, Qom, Sari, Qaemshahr, Shahre Kord, Khorram-Abad, Zahedan, Karaj, Tabriz, Sabzevar, Rasht, Shiraz, Masjid- Soleiman, Isfahan, Sanandaj, Babol, Lahijan, Bandar-Anzali, Chalous, Borujerd, Kashan, Manjil, Garmsar, Fasa, Andimeshk, Behbahan, Kalachai, Gachsaran, Kerman, Somesara, Abhar, Shahinshahr, Dezful, Islamabad, Kerend, Ilam, Borazjan, Toyserkan, Pol-Dokhtar, Ardebil, Shahroud, Gorgan, Gonbad, Shahreza, Langaroud, Amol, Aligudarz, Quchan, Makou, Qazvin, Birjand, Maragheh, Mahshahr, Bushehr, Khoy, Kazeroun, Salmas, Golpayegan, Estahbanat, Aliabad, and so on. 42

43 How Many Executions? Amnesty International reported that it was receiving information pointing to hundreds of executions from among the Kurdish opposition group prisoners in the prison of Orumieh, and 50 executions in Sanandaj. Throughout the rest of 1988, there were reports on continuing executions in different parts of Iran: - In Orumieh, around 400 prisoners were executed and buried in mountains around the city in groups of 10, 20, and 30 people (November 8, 1988) - In Semnan, eight prisoners supporting the Mojahedin were hanged in public from a construction crane, (November 8, 1988) prisoners in Arak, an unspecified number of prisoners in Rudsar, dozens of prisoners in Ahwaz, 18 prisoners in Astara and another group of prisoners in Shahre-Kord were sent to the firing squad, (November 8, 1988). - In November 1988, further reports on more executions in different cities began coming in. According to these reports which were confirmed by different sources, 84 people were executed in Mashad prison in October. Also in October, 150 prisoners were executed in the prison of Khorramabad (western Iran). Twenty-one prisoners were executed in Tabriz prison (December 2, 1988). Manjil - Following torrential rains, a mass grave containing 80 bodies of political prisoners was discovered two kilometers west of the Tehran-Rasht highway. Garmsar - Two truckloads of bodies of prisoners were transferred from Evin and Qezel Hessar prisons to wastelands around the city and buried in a big mass grave. Southwestern Iran - 33 Mojahedin supporters were executed over several weeks in the cities of Ahwaz, Andimeshk and Behbahan. Among them were at least seven women. At the same time, more than 20 political prisoners were executed in Bushehr. Sabzevar - 29 Mojahedin supporters were executed after years of imprisonment. Southern Iran - 26 political prisoners, who were completing their prison terms, were executed in Fasa. Also in Adelabad prison in Shiraz 14 inmates were executed in one day. Northern Iran- Following the discovery of 10 corpses belonging to Mojahedin prisoners buried in two mass graves in Kalachai and Rudsar, citizens clashed with the Guards. Tabriz - Four opponents of the regime were hanged in one of the cities circles. The bodies were left hanging for 24 hours, (January 2, 1989). All political prisoners in the prisons of Dizelabad (Kermanshah), Vakilabad (Mashad), Gachsaran, Khorramabad, Kerman and Masjid Soleiman had been executed by January 10, The Guards dug a big mass grave near Somesara - Kasma road in the northern province of Gilan, and during one night buried several truckloads of corpses in it. 43

44 Crime Against Humaity Near Khavaran road (east of Tehran), agents of the Revolutionary Prosecutor s Office buried the bodies of a large group of the executed beside the Armenian cemetery. Stray dogs dug out some corpses from shallow graves, and the mass graves were exposed. In Isfahan, in the beginning of 1989, bodies of executed political prisoners were buried in groups of 40, 60 and 100 in Bagh-e-Rezvan cemetery. In Tehran, agents of the regime buried corpses of a large number of massacre victims in a big canal in Beheshte Zahra Cemetery s Block 93. In blocks no 106, 107, 108 and 109 of the same cemetery; the graves of a considerable number of executed prisoners have been discovered by their families. Ninety-four people from the town of Abhar, 60 people from Khazaneh (southern Tehran), 40 people from the residents of Ray Street, and 11 people from Norouzkhan district in Tehran s Bazaar were executed (December 31, 1988). In a suburb of Isfahan called Shahinshahr, 700 people were executed over several months. During the last days of 1988, 10 Mojahedin members were hanged in public in one day in three different places in the city of Islamabad (western Iran), while 40 people were executed by firing squad in the northern city of Lahijan. Mass executions and public hangings continued at the same rate in towns all over the country. Thirty-One people in Sanandaj, 25 in Borazjan, 27 in Baneh were executed. In only one village named Dehkohneh, in the vicinity of Borazjan, five Mojahedin supporters were sent to the firing squad. In Tagh Nosrat district of Toyserkan, three supporters of Mojahedin were hanged in public in one day. In Karaj, the extent of secret execution of political prisoners was extremely high, leaving only three people from 500 in one ward of Gohardasht prison (February 10, 1988). It was known afterwards that a number of army servicemen who had refused to fight the National Liberation Army during Operation Eternal Light in July 1988, and had deserted the ranks of the army, were executed. In one day, two officers, one NCO and two soldiers were hanged in public in the city of Kermanshah, western Iran. 44

45 Crimes Against Women III Crimes Against Humanity, Crimes Against Women Statement by Women s Committee of National Council of Resistance In his recently published memoirs, Mr. Hossein-Ali Montazeri, the former heirapparent of Khomeini, refers to mass execution and systematic torture of women political prisoners in Iran, that has led to numerous women being killed or maimed under torture or losing their mental balance. He reveals that in the massacre of political prisoners in 1988, numerous women were also sent before the firing squads after summary trials. While the Iranian Resistance has consistently exposed the crimes of the mullahs regime against women in Iran, today some of these crimes are being revealed by a man who was for ten years the clerical regime s Number Two and Khomeini s heirapparent, with access to the innermost secrets of the state: 1. Mr. Montazeri reveals in this book the text of a personal letter he sent to Khomeini on October 8, In it, Montazeri wrote, inter alia: Do you know that crimes are being committed in the prisons of the Islamic Republic in the name of Islam the like of which was never seen under the Shah s evil regime? Do you know that a large number of prisoners have been killed under torture by their interrogators? Do you know that in Mashad prison, some 25 girls had to have their ovaries or uterus removed as a result of what had been done to them, and because there were no physicians and medical care? 45

46 Crime Against Humaity Do you know that in Shiraz prison, a girl who was fasting in the month of Ramadan was executed on petty charges immediately after breaking her fast? Do you know that in some prisons of the Islamic Republic young girls are being raped by force? Do you know that interrogators foulmouth the girls and use disgusting words to insult them while interrogating them? Do you know that as a result of unruly torture, many prisoners have become deaf or paralyzed or afflicted with chronic diseases? And there is no one to listen to their complaints? The damning contents of this letter alone provide sufficient grounds for an international prosecution of the crimes against humanity in Iran. Where else in the world are women and girls subjected to such horrifying treatment? 2. In another shocking example of the atrocities committed by the mullahs regime, Mr. Montazeri writes in his memoirs: Once I was in Najafabad and I was told about two persons who had been sentenced to death. One was the thirteen-year-old daughter of Haj Taqi Rajai. I knew their family well; they were pious and lived in Najafabad. They were said to have been influenced and recruited by the People s Mojahedin, and were sentenced to execution for this reason. They told me that these two persons had been sentenced to death. They said the thirteen-year-old girl had been asked by the interrogator: Don t you believe in the Imam if you are saying these things? She said, with youthful pride: No, I don t. I never thought that these two persons would be executed any time soon... But they came to me the next day and said: The two of them were executed last night! I was utterly shocked. 3. Mr. Montazeri in effect acknowledges that the rape of girls in the mullahs prisons was a widespread and systematic practice. He writes: Many of those who were being arrested in connection with the Mojahedin were girls and they were executing them on charges of waging war on God... I told the judiciary officials and Evin officials and others, quoting the Imam, that they must not execute girls from the Mojahedin. I told judges not to write death sentences for girls. This is what I said. But then they perverted my words and quoted me as saying: Don t execute girls. First marry them for one night and then execute them. This is a clear acknowledgment that girls in prisons were being systematically raped by the guards and torturers. The sexual assault on prisoners was not confined to girls; from teenagers to aging women, all female prisoners were constantly exposed to this savage treatment. Many women prisoners became insane as a result of being raped by the guards. 46

47 Crimes Against Women 4. An aide to Montazeri who visited some of the prisons wrote a letter to Khomeini about his observations. The letter, reproduced in Montazeri s book, reads in part: [There] are prisoners whose hair had been pulled out, their arms and legs broken, their toes and fingers smashed, their teeth broken. They had scars on their bodies. A woman from Mashad said that she had been arrested during the month of Ramadan while she was pregnant and had been beaten so much that she miscarried her child. Prisoners claimed that two of them had been beaten to death. He refers to a variety of tortures, including flogging with electric cables, kicking, burning the skin with lighters, being dragged by a car, being burnt with kerosene and petrol. 5. Montazeri cites a report by his own representative who visited some prisons: We went to visit Hessarak Prison (or Qezel Hessar), near Mardabad. We saw a door that was covered with a black blanket and a rug. Inside, it was so dark you could not tell the day from the night. About ten prisoners were being held in that room. We came across a girl, one of the prisoners, who was eating her own feces. She had been so much tortured and harassed that she had become deranged. But they were still keeping her in jail. The girl was among a group of 200 to 300 girls who had been arrested essentially for having read the Mojahedin s statements and some of them had become mentally disturbed while in prison. 6. Mr. Montazeri points out that many of the victims of the 1988 massacre of political prisoners were women. In his first letter to Khomeini on the issue of massacres, written only three days after the killings began, Mr. Montazeri stated: If you insist [on the mass executions], at least allow the women to be spared, especially women with children. In another example, Montazeri cites the revolutionary prosecutor of Fars province: [Islami] had brought to me the file of a girl about to be executed. He said he was opposed to executing her, but the other two voted in favor of the execution. 7. But most of the atrocities and crimes perpetrated against women in Khomeini s jails are not even mentioned in Montazeri s book. The infamous Residential Units, for example, which the torturers and guards referred to as a place of no return, were comparable to rape camps where women prisoners faced the most horrendous treatment and torture and were in the end executed or killed under torture. The only survivors are those who have become mentally deranged. Mojahedin women taken to these units would be held inside cages - coffin-like cell where the prisoner had to stand on her feet all the time. One former prisoner wrote: They brought to our cell several women who had been tortured in the Residential Units. They had all become insane. They cried all day, swore, talked to themselves, while refusing to talk to anybody else. 47

48 Crime Against Humaity 8. Beijing s conference coined the mantra that women s rights are human rights. After Beijing+5, fighting violence against women has become a major issue for defenders of women s rights across the world. Today, the world community is bringing to justice perpetrators of crimes against humanity whose victims have been women. All this makes it imperative that the rulers of the mullahs regime, as the principals in these crimes against humanity, be brought to justice by the international community. The revelation of shocking evidence of such crimes by the former heirapparent of Khomeini only makes any inaction and silence on these crimes more unjustified. Economic interests must not be placed ahead of human rights concerns. The women s committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran urges all human rights forums, the UN Commission on Human Rights, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UNHRC special representative for human rights in Iran, the special rapporteur for women, and all organizations defending women s rights to condemn the Iranian regime s crimes against women and to undertake every effort to remove the political and practical impediments to the formation of an international tribunal for putting on trial the principals and perpetrators of these crimes.

He gave his full backing to the decision to massacre political prisoners. 2-As Foreign Minister, he led the regime s attempts to deceive the international public opinion on the massacre and conceal the dimensions of the killings. He was instrumental in barring any fact-finding visit to Iran by NGOs and UN rapporteurs.

Prisoners who have been executed in recent months belonged to the People s Mojahedin. Other executed prisoners had confessed to murder of political figures (Interview with Iran s Foreign Minister, the French weekly Le Point, February 5, 1989). 76

77 Wanted for crimes against humaity V Legal Grounds for the Establishment of an International Tribunal The most serious crimes of concern to the international community as a whole must not go unpunished and their effective prosecution must be ensured... (from the preamble of the Statute for the International Criminal Court, adopted in Rome on 17 July 1998) The National Council of Resistance of Iran calls for the establishment of a tribunal to try the leaders of the Iranian regime and other officials of this regime who have acted as the principal protagonists of the massacre of thousands of political prisoners in Iran in The carnage that went on in Iran s prisons in the second half of 1988 undoubtedly fits into the category of crimen contra omnes - crimes against all - in other words, crimes that are so serious as to mandate universal enforcement, jurisdiction, and responsibility. The call for the establishment of an international tribunal is fully based on international law and legal precedents: from the Nuremberg tribunal at the end of 77

78 Crime Against Humaity the Second World War to the international criminal tribunals for Rwanda and former Yugoslavia, mandated by UN Security Council resolutions. Crimes against humanity recognized by international law include the practice of systematic or widespread murder, torture, forced disappearances, deportation and forcible transfers, arbitrary detention and persecutions on political or other grounds. There is a huge body of irrefutable evidence to prove that hundreds of thousands of cases of these crimes have been perpetrated by the current Iranian regime. Much of the evidence has been documented and catalogued in testimonies, reports and resolutions by United Nations rapporteurs, the Commission on Human Rights, the General Assembly, international NGOs, victims or their families, former or serving officials of the regime, press reports, opposition organizations, etc. For many years, the National Council of Resistance of Iran has been calling on the Security Council to order the establishment of an international tribunal that would bring to justice Iranian officials responsible for crimes against humanity that include mass executions, systematic torture, ethnically- and religiously-motivated genocide, institutionalized discrimination against women and systematic rape of women and girls in prisons, persecution on political and cultural grounds, and terrorist attacks in many parts of the world. What bestows particular urgency and added justification to the establishment of a tribunal now is the recent revelation of a series of documents on the massacre of political prisoners in 1988 by Mr. Hossein-Ali Montazeri, the 79-year-old senior cleric who was for a decade the designated successor to the regime s Supreme Leader, Ruhollah Khomeini. It can be said with certainty that documents that so clearly show that orders for the massacre of thousands of political prisoners came from the highest authority in the country and involved the top echelons of the government and part of the state apparatus in a systematic and planned way are unique; there are no comparable documents of this clarity in other instances brought before justice by the international community in the past few decades. With such compelling evidence readily available, the failure of the international community - specifically the UN Security Council - to act promptly is wholly unjustifiable and exposes it to charges of double standards. If these crimes are to be left unpunished, a terrible injustice will have been perpetrated upon the tens of thousands of victims and survivors of these crimes, along with their families. The legal basis The NCR proposal for the tribunal is firmly based on international law and legal precedents. Each of these crimes against humanity have been recognized as crimes 78

79 International Tribunal under international law in international conventions or other international instruments, either expressly or as other inhumane acts, including in Article 6 (c) of the Charter of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg (1945) (murder, deportation and other inhumane acts and persecutions), Allied Control Council Law No. 10 (1946) (murder, deportation, imprisonment, torture and other inhumane acts and persecutions), Article 6 (c) of the Charter of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (1946) (murder, deportation and other inhumane acts and persecutions), Article 2 (10) of the Draft Code of Offenses against the Peace and Security of Mankind (1954) (murder, deportation and persecutions), Article 5 of the Statute of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (1993) (murder, deportation, imprisonment, persecutions and other inhumane acts), Article 3 of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (1994) (murder, deportation, imprisonment, persecutions and other inhumane acts), Article 18 of the UN Draft Code of Crimes against the Peace and Security of Mankind (1996) (murder, torture, persecution, arbitrary imprisonment, arbitrary deportation or forcible transfer of population, forced disappearance of persons and other inhumane acts) and Article 7 of the Statute of the International Criminal Court (1998) (murder, deportation or forcible transfer of population, imprisonment or other severe deprivation of physical liberty in violation of fundamental rules of international law, torture, persecution, enforced disappearance of persons and other inhumane acts). Historical and legal precedents The Treaty of Versailles at the end of the First World War recognized for the first time (in an international treaty) the principle of the punishment of war criminals. Under the relevant articles of the Treaty, Articles 228 through 230, the German government acknowledged the right of the Allies to bring before military tribunals individuals accused of acts in violation of the laws and customs of war, agreed that the accused would be tried in military tribunals and agreed to turn over all documents and information necessary to the tribunals. Although due to a compromise, the German government subsequently tried the defendants in national courts and gave them unduly light punishment for serious crimes, the principle was established in modern international law that authorization for the trial of war criminals can be established by treaty. In the wake of the Second World War, the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France reached an agreement by which an international military tribunal was to be created to try the German war criminals. Accompanying the agreement was a Charter of the International Military Tribunal (the Nuremberg Charter ). The Nuremberg Charter s major contribution to international law was the notion of individual accountability for violations of international legal norms. The charter, 79

80 Crime Against Humaity in its Article 6, created three charges (Crimes Against Peace, War Crimes, and Crimes Against Humanity), and prohibited the defense of superior orders and likewise prohibited the defense of the Act of State. It was the third charge - Crimes Against Humanity - which was the major innovation among the charges. The Charter took a universalistic approach to these crimes, namely that the crimes are so heinous and grave in nature that they become international crimes against universally accepted concepts of morality. To bolster international support for the Charter, another 19 states expressed their adherence to its principles. The United Nations General Assembly, on December 11, 1946, unanimously affirmed the principles of the Nuremberg Charter. The Charter s principles thus became part of customary international law. Jurisdiction of the tribunal The main jurisdictional argument used for the Nuremberg Tribunal is that the crimes committed by the German leadership were so atrocious that there existed universal jurisdiction over them. The perpetrators of such crimes are deemed to be hostes humani generis, or common enemies of mankind. It was argued that the tribunal was created by the four powers on behalf of the entire world community of civilized nations, to bring to trial the major Nazi war criminals. The Charter s preamble states that the four nations were acting in the interests of all the United Nations. The logical conclusion of this specific jurisdictional basis of the Nuremberg Tribunal is that there are certain crimes for which universal jurisdiction exists and for which certain powers can act - on behalf of the world community - to prosecute the criminals. International customary law The crimes in question are recognized as crimes against humanity under international customary law (Article VI (c) of the International Law Commission s Principles of International Law Recognized in the Charter of the Nuremberg Tribunal and in the Judgment of the Tribunal, 1950). As the UN Secretary-General made clear in his report to the Security Council on the establishment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, which has jurisdiction over crimes against humanity, the application of the principle of nullum crimen sine lege requires that the international tribunal should apply rules of international humanitarian law which are beyond any doubt part of customary law so that the problem of adherence of some but not all States to specific conventions does not arise (Report of the Secretary- General pursuant to paragraph 2 of Security Council resolution 808 (1993), UN Doc. S/25704, 3 May 1993, para. 34). He also stated that [t]he part of conventional international humanitarian law 80

81 International Tribunal which has beyond doubt become part of international customary law includes the Nuremberg Charter (Ibid., para. 35). Moreover, crimes against humanity and the norms which regulate them form part of jus cogens (fundamental norms). As such, they are peremptory norms of general international law which, as recognized in Article 53 of the Vienna Convention of the Law of Treaties (1969), cannot be modified or revoked by treaty or national law. That article provides that a peremptory norm of general international law is a norm accepted and recognized by the international community of states as a whole as a norm from which no derogation is permitted and which can be modified only by a subsequent norm of general international law having the same character. The responsibility of states An amicus curae submitted to the panel of judges of the House of Lords by Amnesty International in October 1998 concerning the case of Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet stated: As the International Court of Justice recognized in Barcelona Traction, Light and Power Company Ltd. (ICJ, 1972 Report, p. 32), the prohibition in international law of acts, such as those alleged in this case, is an obligation erga omnes which all states have a legal interest in ensuring is implemented. This legal interest permits any state to exercise universal jurisdiction over persons suspected of committing crimes against humanity (M. Cherif Bassiouni, Crimes against Humanity (Dordrecht/Boston/ London: Martinus Nijhoff Publishers 1992), pp ). On this basis, the National Council of Resistance calls on each member state of the United Nations to proceed with the arrest and prosecution of the leaders and top officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran on charges of crimes against humanity. A number of states, including Canada and France, have enacted legislation permitting their courts to exercise universal jurisdiction over crimes against humanity and a number of national courts are reported to have determined that they have jurisdiction over acts which amount to crimes against humanity. The French Court of Appeal referred to this fundamental rule of international law in the Barbie Case when it held that by reason of their nature, the crimes against humanity with which Barbie is indicted do not simply fall within the scope of French municipal law, but are subject to an international criminal order to which the notions of frontiers and extradition rules arising therefrom are completely foreign (Fédération Nationale des Déportés et Internés Résistants et Patriotes and Others v. Barbie, Cour de Cassation (Chambre Criminel), Judgment, 6 October 1983). The UN Special Rapporteur on torture, Nigel Rodley, before he assumed that post concluded more than a decade ago that permissive universality of jurisdiction 81

82 Crime Against Humaity [over torture] is probably already achieved under general international law (Nigel Rodley, The Treatment of Prisoners under International Law (Oxford: Clarendon Press 1987) p. 107). Every state which is a party to the UN Convention against Torture (including the United Kingdom, Belgium, Chile, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden and the United States) is under a solemn duty under Article 7 (1) of that treaty to extradite anyone found in its jurisdiction alleged to have committed torture or to submit the case to its competent authorities for the purpose of prosecution. The absence of immunity Those responsible for torture, genocide and other crimes against humanity cannot invoke immunity or special privileges as a means of avoiding criminal or civil responsibility. The fundamental rule of international law that there is no immunity under international law for heads of state and public officials for crimes against humanity has been long established. It is simply a specific example of the general rule of international law recognized in the Treaty of Versailles of 28 June of 1919 that immunities of heads of state under international law have limits, particularly when crimes under international law are involved. The Allies had planned to bring Adolf Hitler, the head of state of Germany, to justice for crimes under international law. Article 7 of the Nuremberg Charter expressly provided: The official position of defendants, whether as Heads of State or responsible officials in Government Departments, shall not be considered as freeing them from responsibility or mitigating punishment. In its Judgment, the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg declared: Crimes against international law are committed by men, not by abstract entities, and only by punishing individuals who commit such crimes can the provisions of international law be enforced (Nuremberg Judgment, supra, p. 41). The fundamental rule of international law that heads of state and public officials do not enjoy immunity for crimes against humanity has also been consistently reaffirmed for more than half a century by the international community, the last major instance being Article 27 of the Statute for the International Criminal Court, adopted in Rome on 17 July The international law rule which provides that there is no immunity for heads of states or public officials for crimes against humanity is buttressed by the exclusion of statutes of limitation and the prohibition of asylum for persons responsible for such crimes. An appeal for justice It is clear, as far as international law is concerned, that all states have universal 82

83 International Tribunal jurisdiction over torture, extrajudicial executions, genocide and other crimes against humanity and they have a duty to bring the perpetrators of such crimes to justice in their own courts, to extradite them to a state willing to do so or to surrender them to an international criminal court with jurisdiction over these crimes. The National Council of Resistance of Iran once again draws the attention of all member-states of the United Nations to the irrefutable evidence proving the massacre of thousands of political prisoners in Iran in 1988, an act that clearly fits into the definition of crimes against humanity. The NCR urges member-states to arrest and prosecute the leaders of the Iranian regime, who are responsible for this crime. 83

85 VI Eyewitnesses speak out A collection of reports and accounts of the massacre by some of the few survivors All we know for sure is when it began. The massacre of political prisoners in Iran began on Wednesday, July 31, By the time it finally ended in January 1989, the huge population of political prisoners throughout the country had been reduced to an insignificant number of survivors. Nobody really knows exactly how many political prisoners were executed in the massacre. Even the top officials who were responsible for carrying out Khomeini s fatwa to liquidate political prisoners do not possess accurate figures as to how many perished in the carnage. Khomeini s written orders to religious judges and revolutionary prosecutors across the country were explicit: Annihilate the enemies of Islam as quickly as you can. In the great haste to fulfill his command, Khomeini s henchmen often did not bother with details such as recording or reporting the exact number of executions, or even registering the identities of victims. Over a decade later, hitherto undisclosed information about the massacre of political prisoners in 1988 keeps popping up from Evin and Gohardasht prisons in Tehran to prisons in remote parts of the country. The survivors of the holocaust are few and, among them, some are still languishing in jails, while many have lost their mental balance. A former prisoner who spent 15 years in jail and witnessed the massacre said: It was autumn when they gathered the surviving prisoners from different prisons of Tehran in Evin. The massacre machine was grinding to a halt, but sporadic executions continued here or there. We were taken from Gohardasht prison to Evin.

86 Crime Against Humaity The prison population in Evin was so badly decimated in the massacre that by now we, the Gohardasht survivors, outnumbered the inmates in what had been, up to then, by far the country s largest and most populated prison. We still could not grasp the depth of the catastrophe. Our most dominating feeling was one of shame and guilt for having stayed alive while so many had perished. When they finally allowed family visits to resume after several months of isolating prisoners from the outside world, we felt ashamed to face the visitors. By then news of the massacre had reached the outside world. Our families were overjoyed to see us alive, but we could feel the obvious question on their mind: why were we among the few survivors of the carnage? We tried to make this inferno more bearable by collecting the names of victims. We listed the names of 6,450 male inmates executed in Tehran s prisons alone. We had no knowledge of the number and names of executed women. But even as far as the executed male prisoners in Tehran were concerned, our list was incomplete. We learnt later of wards in Evin where all prisoners - down to the last man - had been executed, with not a single survivor to tell the story. We did not even know their names... We made an attempt to send the list outside through the family of an inmate, but it was discovered by the regime. The result of painstaking research and laborious efforts to compile a comprehensive list of victims was destroyed. Some months later, we received information from other parts of the country, from Shiraz, Mashad, Kermanshah, Sanandaj, Qom, Rasht, Babol, Sari, Ghaemshahr, Zahedan, and so on. In the majority of these cities, all political prisoners had been executed. In Tehran and in all other cities, thousand of ex-prisoners who had served their sentences and been released years before that, were re-arrested and taken directly to the amnesty committee [These committees, set up for the summary trial of prisoners, were nicknamed death committees by prisoners]... Those who were not prepared to condemn the Mojahedin were taken to the gallows directly... Paving the way Even before the public revelation that the massacre had taken place on Khomeini s direct orders, it became clear, through eyewitness accounts and other reports, that the carnage was a deliberate policy of the Iranian government, aimed at shoring up the clerical state s loosening grip on power. Amnesty International stated in a report after the carnage that the massacre of political prisoners was a premeditated and coordinated policy which must have been authorized at the highest level of government. There are numerous indications that the policy to exterminate political prisoners had been in the pipelines for a long time. In March 1988, Massoud Moghbeli, a Mojahedin sympathizer, was taken from Evin to Komiteh Moshtarak prison in 86

87 Eyewitnesses Speak Out Tehran. There he was warned by prison authorities that we are going to settle scores with all of you in a bloody way. Tell your fellow inmates they had better make up their minds. Another ex-political prisoner, a witness to the massacre, says: There is no question that the carnage was planned well in advance. Long before it began, Lajevardi and Haj Davood, head of the Qezel Hessar prison, repeatedly told us that if they felt the regime s existence was seriously in jeopardy, they would not leave a single prisoner alive. We were told that they had put aside grenades to lob into every prison cell if the prison came under attack by Resistance forces. Another prisoner wrote: When it was announced that Khomeini had accepted the cease-fire with Iraq on July 18, 1988, and described it as drinking a chalice of poison, they took us with all our belongings to solitary cells. The trend of transferring prisoners to solitary cells was accelerated on July 24, a week before the massacre began. On July 25 or 26, a prison guard came to our cell and gave us a form to fill in. I was sharing the cell with Reza Shemirani and Amir Abdollahi, who were later executed during the massacre. The form asked one s name, surname, father s name, political tendency, whether one had been re-arrested, and one s signature. In a highly unusual way, the guard did not utter a word and left us to fill in the forms. We wrote Mojahedin Organization as our tendency. When the guard returned, we were even more surprised as he asked us why we had not written the name of the organization in full. (Up to that time, if a prisoner mentioned the name of the Mojahedin, he or she would be severely tortured.) So we wrote People s Mojahedin Organization of Iran and handed him the completed forms. He smiled and walked out. An ex-political prisoner recalls the days preceding the launch of the massacre: The early signs of the regime s decision to liquidate political prisoners surfaced in the autumn of 1987, when prisoners were separated into two groups of Mojahedin and non-mojahedin. In Gohardasht prison, those condemned to life imprisonment were transferred to Evin and the rest were divided into two groups of under- and over-ten-year terms. Families of some prisoners were told that the prisoners fate would be decided after June. Visits banned The most ominous sign that something was afoot came in mid-july, when all of a sudden family visits were banned. Families, anxious to hear about their loved ones fate in jails, were turned away from prison gates with no clear explanation. This total darkness continued for three months. Inside, guards spread the word that an amnesty committee had been formed, which would interview each prisoner in order to issue a general amnesty. Few believed the guards, but the move, coming in the wake of the ban on family visits, gave rise to 87

88 Crime Against Humaity much speculation among prisoners as to what the real intentions of the regime were. It did not take long for the truth to emerge. The death committee The amnesty committee began its work at Evin prison on Wednesday, July 27. The first series of prisoners taken to be interviewed by the committee were executed that same evening. Yet the majority of prisoners in the wards knew nothing of what was going on. Many inmates had been moved to solitary cells several days earlier, so that less people would get to know about the executions. But after a few groups of prisoners were processed by the amnesty committee, it became clear to prisoners that death and nothing else awaited them in that committee room. Prisoners immediately nicknamed it the death committee and the name stuck. The committee consisted of Jaafar Nayyeri, a mullah who headed Tehran s Court of First Instance, Morteza Eshraghi, the Tehran prosecutor general, and Mostafa Pourmohammadi, the representative of the Intelligence Ministry. Mohammad Moghisse i, also known as Nasserian, governor of Gohardasht prison, and Mullah Hossein Mortazavi, governor of Evin prison, sat on the committee when it met in their prisons. Former prisoner, who has personally witnessed many of the executions, says: In the heat of the massacre, the governor of Gohardasht prison was heard screaming in the middle of the ward: We will no longer have prisoners. This is the Imam s decree. If a prisoner maintains his positions, he will be executed. If he has recanted and abandoned political activity, then he will be freed. We are going to empty these prisons. The death committee would work three days in Evin, and then would move to Gohardasht and hold summary trials for the inmates there. A trial never lasted more than a few minutes. It resembled more an interrogation session, complete with torture, than a court hearing. The committee concentrated chiefly on Mojahedin prisoners, who made up more than 90 per cent of political prisoners. Then-Chief Justice Moussavi Ardebil said in an interview with the state radio on August 6, 1988: The judiciary is under tremendous pressure... People ask why we do not execute them, while they should all be executed. The judiciary is no longer going to take a lot of trouble taking files to and from courthouses. Another report states that the death committee spent the days July 30 and 31, and August 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13 and 16 in Gohardasht prison. Members of the death committee or at least one of them would attend each series of executions to certify that the verdict had been carried out. After a ten-day lull, the committee resumed its work in Gohardasht on August 27. The price of staying alive 88

89 Eyewitnesses Speak Out When a prisoner was brought before the members of the death committee, he would invariably be asked this question: What is your political affiliation? Those who said Mojahedin would be told to leave; their names would be placed in the execution column, which would then be carried out within hours or a day. The ones who said Monafeqin [regime s derogatory term for the Mojahedin] would then face further questions: - Are you prepared to divulge and condemn the Monafeqin in a televised interview? - Are you prepared to fight the Monafeqin alongside the forces of the Islamic Republic? - Are you prepared to put the noose around the neck of an active member of the Monafeqin? - Are you prepared to clear minefields for the army of the Islamic Republic? A negative answer to any one of these questions would be sufficient to guarantee the execution of the prisoner. Supporters of the Mojahedin were the first to face the death committee. Other inmates received information on these trials through Morse messages. Similar death committees had been formed in all provinces to implement Khomeini s orders for the mass execution of all Mojahedin prisoners. The death committee in Evin On the afternoon of Wednesday, July 27, the first batch of prisoners were taken to the amnesty committee, as it was then called. They were there until 10 pm. These inmates were all taken from individual cells in the building called the Dormitory, and were all prisoners whose cases had not been decided to that date. All of them were executed the same evening. One of the prisoners reported that on the same day, during a transfer between the Dormitory and his ward, he ran into a non-political prisoner welding iron pipes, who warned him : Watch out, we are making several series of these hanging gallows each with 5 hanging ropes. As the death committee began its work, a state of emergency was declared in Evin prison. All telephone lines except a single line were cut off, so that Revolutionary Guards and prison officials could not contact anyone outside the prison. Interrogators, torturers and wardens were not permitted to leave the prison. An ex-prisoner says: I saw a guard who begged the prison governor for hours, telling him: My wife is dying, for God s sake, let me leave for two hours and see what is going on, but the prison chief would not let him go. On the day the executions began, they shut the prison gate and declared a state of emergency. On August 14, 15 and 16, 860 bodies belonging to executed political prisoners 89

90 Crime Against Humaity were transferred from Evin prison to Beheshte Zahra cemetery in Tehran. Another prisoner writes that, as an example, from hall no. 6 of Evin prison where 104 prisoners were kept, only four people survived and 100 were executed. The death committee in Gohardasht The death committee began its work in Gohardasht prison on July 30. The first group were political prisoners from the city of Mashad who had been transferred to Gohardasht. They were all supporters of the Mojahedin and the death committee did not even spend the normal few minutes on their cases. A witness recalls the nightmare of those days: On Friday, July 29, guards raided our ward and searched the whole place and the prisoners. We learnt afterwards that they were looking for documents or anything which could be used to speed up mass executions. The next day, the death committee formally began its job and the guards began preparing the massacre. Group after group of prisoners were transferred to solitary cell. After a retrial that lasted no more than a few minutes, the death sentence would be issued and the prisoner would be executed the same day. The executions took part in the assembly hall called Hosseinieh. The ropes were suspended from the high ceiling. The prisoners, blindfolded and hands-tied, were led onto the stage in groups of 10 to 15. There the guards would place the noose around their necks. Nasserian, the prison governor, would then hang each one by kicking him from behind and throwing him off the stage. Members of the death committee attended the execution sessions. Another ex-prisoner, who personally witnessed some of the executions, recounts his sordid observations: In the killing hall, where people were hanged, Nasserian and his deputy Abbassi tried hard to execute as many as they could. In order to speed up the process, if they felt that an inmate hanging from the gallows was still alive, they would grab his feet and pull down his body with all their weight to finish him off. In several cases, when they lowered the body, they noticed that the victim was still alive, but Nasserian would say no problem and would order the guards to bring the next batch of prisoners on the stage; the victim would be taken to mass graves along with other corpses and buried alive. Reports from Gohardasht show that the few who survived the massacre did so in the most unlikely circumstances. Some prisoners condemned to death by the committee were saved by prison guards, who sent to the gallows prisoners they hated instead of them. More confusion resulted from the fact that prisoners were transferred from different prisons and moved to different wards in one prison. Due to this confusion, there were cases of mistaken executions. A prisoner writes: It was the turn of Massoud Daliri, a Mojahedin supporter, to appear before the death committee, but it coincided with the guards lunch break. They returned Massoud to the corridor 90

91 Eyewitnesses Speak Out and left for lunch. But when other guards lined up those whose trial had finished to take them to the gallows, Massoud was taken with them and was hanged in the execution hall. After their lunch break, the guards called out Massoud Daliri s name to take him to the committee, only to find out that he had already been hanged. An ex-prisoner who witnessed the massacre writes: In Evin I met a man named Fat hollah Pirkanaan, who came from a remote village in Gilan (northern Iran). He was imprisoned on grounds of sympathizing with the Mojahedin. He was pressured to condemn Mojahedin s viewpoints, but he refused. They told him that all his fellow activists had been executed, and that he would soon join them. He did not believe them, until they took him to the basement of the infamous Ward 209, the main torture chamber of Evin, and removed his blindfolds. He was shocked by the large number of bodies of executed prisoners hanged there, so much so that for six months, he did not utter a word on this to anyone. The view from the Workshop Saeed Amirkhizi was arrested in 1986 because of his sister s activities and spent five years in prison. A paraplegic, he was able to deceive his interrogators and make them believe he was not politically oriented. Contrary to most prisoners, Saeed spent most of his time in Evin prison s workshop. This was where hand-picked prisoners could work outside their ward, and be exposed to information other inmates were unable to obtain. He writes: New arrests were on the rise as 1988 began, and the influx of new prisoners increased day by day. The important point was that many among the new detainees were ex-prisoners. After Nowrouz, the Iranian New Year, in March 1988, the authorities adopted a more Draconian approach to prisoners. Outdoor times were further limited and group exercises were prohibited. After accepting the cease-fire [in the Iran-Iraq war], the authorities brought in torturers like Ramezani, Abbas Khazai, Mossayeb,... all notorious for their brutality. Prisoners movement within the prison was severely restricted. They did not let newspapers in and television sets were removed from prison wards. The unbreakables and those who had not yet received a verdict were evacuated from Ward 2 and Ward 4 over a few days. Those staying in the wards, including myself, still knew nothing about the massacre that had begun. We had not been summoned by the committee. Afterwards, we heard that Mojtaba Halvai, an influential security officer and head torturer in Evin, had tried more than once to take those of us who were in the Workshop to the committee, but had failed because the committee was short of time. The executions took place in Ward 209. We learnt through a guard that had installed a multiple-galley beam at the visitors hall and were hanging people there. 91

92 Crime Against Humaity One day, as I was walking to the workshop, Ramezani rushed in a hurry and pushed everybody into the wards or the courtyard. I was standing behind a door, where I could hear a lot of people coming and going. I opened the door, but before Ramezani saw me and kicked the door shut, I was able to catch a glimpse of a group of haggard soldiers in rag-tag uniforms. Afterwards, we learnt that Iranian soldiers who had disobeyed orders to fight the National Liberation Army in its operation Eternal Light had been brought there and executed. Some of their families came to Evin to visit them, but they were insulted and turned away by the Revolutionary Guards. One of the Guards jeered them: These cowards surrendered themselves to women; they deserve to be executed... The intensity of the executions was so much that it actually affected the guards themselves. Even these cruel torturers, who had been tormenting and executing prisoners for years, were astonished by this level of cruelty and barbarity. Haj Amjad, a guard who used to quarrel with everybody and was famous for his short temper and brutality, became unbelievably quiet and introverted after the carnage. He became a chain smoker, always lost in deep thought. Another torturer named Mohammad Allahbakhshi was in a similar situation. The same fate beset many others, who in the past treated the prisoners harshly and brutally. The authorities never allowed such guards to stay in prisons for long and transferred them to other places. They even gave some of them a higher position in a bid to buy off their continuing loyalty. The spreading carnage One former prisoner talks in his testimony about the discussions he and his fellow prisoners had at the time about the extent of the executions: There were 26 prisoners in Section 6 of Gohardasht prison - each prison has several wards and each ward several sections. All 26 appeared before the death committee on the very first day the committee began its work in Gohardasht. All 26 were executed on that very day. Out of 25 inmates in Section 14, which also included some who had been brought there from Khorassan province, 15 prisoners were hanged. In my own section, there were 45 prisoners; 23 were executed. In Section 13, with 30 to 40 inmates, only six or seven survived the killings. In Ward 2 in Gohardasht, there were 200 prisoners when the massacre began; only 70 survived. In the first two days, 150 to 180 people were executed each day. O, history, remember was scrawled on every wall in Gohardasht by prisoners about to be executed. Another witness wrote: From a group of 150 political prisoners in a ward, only seven survived; 143 inmates were executed during the massacre. 92

93 Eyewitnesses Speak Out A massacre bordering on genocide An ex-prisoner recounts: The regime had decided to physically eliminate all political prisoners. We saw Jaafar Hashemian, along with 11 other Mojahedin prisoners, as they were being taken for execution. These inmates had been transferred from Mashad to Adelabad prison in Shiraz and then to Dizelabad in Kermanshah and in the end to Gohardasht prison in Karaj. Another prisoner, Hossein Farsi, recalls: Gholamreza Kiakojouri told me: I took back my word today. The day before, he had accepted the regime s conditions when questioned by the committee, thinking that this was part of a general amnesty. Realizing that there was no amnesty, he told the committee the next day that he was a supporter of the People s Mojahedin; a sure way of ending up on the gallows. Gholamreza was executed a few days later. A former woman prisoner writes: I had known a member of the Mojahedin named Zahra Khosravi for a year and a half only by exchanging Morse codes which we tapped on cell walls in Gohardasht. The day she was taken to the committee, I received this message from her: I am Zahra Khosravi. They have given me 20 minutes to write my will before they take me for execution. Another eyewitness notes: Majid Pour-Ramezan became a Mojahedin supporter in prison. The committee members told him his life would be spared if he did not identify himself as a Mojahedin sympathizer. But he refused to give in and told them: When I decided to become a supporter of the Mojahedin, I made up my mind to be with them in all the ups and downs, under torture and execution. His execution decree was signed on August 3, The same witness has written in another part of his testimony: Dariush Kaynejad was a Zoroastrian and supported the Mojahedin. He was arrested in 1984 and we were together until 1987, when he completed his prison term. But they did not release him, because he did not accept to appear in a television interview to condemn the Mojahedin. He was executed on August 3, Angel of death turns to non-mojahedin At the end of August, the death committee, which had by then executed thousands of the Mojahedin, turned to other prisoners. The procedures followed practically the same course. Here is a short account of how six non-mojahedin prisoners appeared before the death committee: The six were asked if they prayed or read the Quran. They replied that they did not. They were then asked whether their fathers had read the Quran. Four of them answered yes and two of them no. After some discussion between members of the committee, it was decided that those who had not been brought up in a religious family were not as guilty as those whose parents were 93

94 Crime Against Humaity religious, because the former group had not been brought up as believers. Consequently, the two men whose fathers had not prayed were spared, but the other four were executed. Another witness writes: The regime began dealing with other prisoners, but not with the same ferocity as it had done with Mojahedin prisoners. They were often asked about performing daily prayers. Those who did not pray were flogged. Marxists had to convert to Islam, but a number of them were executed anyway... An ex-prisoner writes: Towards the end of August, non-mojahedin prisoners also found their way to solitary cells. The main question concerning these people was whether they were Muslim or atheist. They were not asked about their political viewpoints. If somebody said he was an atheist, they would ask him whether his father was also an atheist. If his father had been a Muslim, they would receive the death penalty for apostasy. But if their father had been an atheist, they would receive a lighter sentence. Those who told the committee that they were Muslims would be sent back to their cells and would be told to perform religious duties, and for every missed prayer, they would receive as many as 30 lashes a day. A large number refused to pray in the beginning, but when they saw that the officials were serious and had many of them flogged for not performing prayers, they grudgingly began to pray. The officials assembled all these prisoners in two wards, and assigned a guard as their prayer leader. All of them had to do common prayers with the guard. 94

95 Eyewitnesses Speak Out VII Mass Graves Discovery of scores of secret graves where the bodies of the victims of mass executions were buried The 1988 massacre gave rise to the phenomenon of mass graves. Every day hundreds of people in Evin and more in Gohardasht and other prisons in Tehran and in prisons all over Iran were being executed. The regime s agents did not have the time to bury them one by one, so the only way was to bury them in mass graves. This method had been used occasionally in Tehran and other cities since 1981, but in 1988 it became a systematic procedure in the major cities. A witness recalls: The scale of the massacre was so vast that bodies of the executed were carried away on trucks to mass graves. I was able to see the truck from between metal window shades covered with a canvas sheet in order to hide the mess. Amnesty International recorded similar observations in its report: One woman described to AI how she had dug up the corpse of an executed man with her bare hands as she searched for her husband s body in Jadeh Khavaran cemetery in Tehran in August 1988 in a part of the cemetery colloquially known as Lanatabad,(the place of the damned), reserved for the bodies of executed political prisoners. The woman described the gruesome sight in her own words: Groups of bodies, some clothed, some in shrouds, had been buried in unmarked shallow graves in the section of the cemetery reserved for executed leftist political prisoners. The stench of the corpses was appalling but I started digging with my hands because it was 95

96 Crime Against Humaity important for me and my two little children that I locate my husband s grave. The Amnesty report added: She unearthed a body with its face covered in blood but when she cleaned it off she saw it was not her husband. Other relatives visiting the graveyard discovered her husband s grave some days latter. A member of a communist group, he had been arrested in early 1985, tortured over several months and convicted after a summary trial at which, as a result of his torture, he was barely conscious. He never learned what his sentence was. His wife had been turned away from Evin Prison on a regular visiting day in early August, and had then started her quest for information which led her to the unmarked grave. A report dated February 3, 1996, said that during excavation by Avand Construction Company in the Khavaran district of southern Tehran, a huge mass grave was discovered. This mass grave contained hundreds of bodies of prisoners executed in the summer of After the news spread, hundreds of people rushed to the scene, but police and security forces sealed off the district and dispersed the crowd by firing into the air. The next day a number of employees of the company were arrested on charges of spreading the news. In autumn 1988, officials would inform families of the execution of their loved ones. In some cases, prison authorities informed relatives when they went to the prison for routine visits with prisoners. This led to protests by the families who would gather outside the prison, so alternative methods were sought. It seems that the majority of relatives were informed by telephone that they should refer to Islamic Revolutionary komitehs [a branch of Revolutionary Guards acting like a paramilitary police force] to obtain information about their imprisoned relatives. There they would be told of the execution and they would be further asked to give a written commitment not to hold any funeral or remembrance services for the executed. Family members would not be told where their loved ones were buried, and even if they managed to find out, they would not be permitted to place a tombstone on the unmarked grave. An Amnesty Internationa report noted: An Iranian who left Iran in late 1988 told AI how his family had learned of the execution of his brother, Hossein. In November 1988 the family received a telephone call instructing the father to go to Evin Prison to receive information about Hossein. Hossein s father and wife went to the prison where they were told that Hossein had been executed because he was not repentant and had not been improved by his imprisonment. They were not informed where his body was, and were told that they should not hold any funeral ceremony. Hossein had been held in Gohardasht Prison in Karaj where he was serving a 15 year sentence for activities in support of the PMOI. Hossein had been arrested in His brother told AI that at that time Hossein had been involved in political activities for the PMOI: collecting money and distributing leaflets and newspapers. The mother of a 39-year-old woman executed in Evin Prison wrote to AI 96

97 Mass Graves describing a similar experience. Her daughter had been arrested in 1982 when she was found in possession of leaflets produced by the PMOI. She had been tried by an Islamic Revolutionary Court but never informed of the sentence passed on her. For six years the mother had visited her daughter every two weeks. In early August 1988 her visits were stopped without explanation. In November 1988 she received a telephone call telling her to go to the Islamic Revolutionary komiteh near Beheshte Zahra cemetery, where she was informed of her daughter s execution. She was instructed not to hold any mourning ceremony and was not informed where the body was buried. A former political prisoner says: In the month of Mehr (beginning September 23) family visits that had been suspended before the beginning of the massacre resumed. In the meeting hall, prison officials were keeping a watchful eye on the prisoners to make sure they would not inform their relatives of the massacre. But the families were already informed, and even tried to raise their spirits. Families managed to signal to the prisoners that relatives of the executed had gathered in front of Gohardasht Prison. But the regime had refused to inform them of the fate of their loved ones, and so the families began protesting. The families were told that their imprisoned relatives were executed because they wanted to stage an uprising in the prison and raise slogans against the Imam and Islam. Meanwhile, relatives, especially mothers, suffered a lot, and a number of them died of heart attacks. Others cursed the agents with hatred. Afraid of the spread of the protests, the regime acted quickly and dispersed the families. Another witness testifies: I was told by the mothers of the martyrs that when they came to Evin to ask about their children, they had decided between themselves that if they were told of their loved ones execution, they would not weep or mourn in front of the regime s agents. When a mother, on being told that her son had been executed, just said let us thank the Almighty, the agents became furious... The relatives of prisoners executed during this period began to gather regularly in Beheshte Zahra cemetery in Tehran on Fridays. The mother of a 42-year-old man, who had been arrested in 1983 and sentenced to 12 years imprisonment before being executed in Karaj prison, wrote to her daughter outside Iran about one of these gatherings: On Friday all the mothers along with family members got together and we went to the graveyard. What a day of mourning; it was like Ashura! [ a religious occasion of particular importance to Shi a Muslims, commemorating the martyrdom of Prophet Mohammad s grandson Hossein]. Mothers came with pictures of theirs sons; one had lost five sons and daughters-in-law. Finally, the Guards came and dispersed us. A former prisoner testifies: In December [1988] we were finally permitted to have a visit. It was a bewildering sight. Families came to visit us with such a high 97

98 Crime Against Humaity morale. I remember my father and my mother came to visit me. They had been sent several times from Gohardasht to Evin and back and finally in a desperate call at Gohardasht they were able to see me. My father looked me in the eyes when our interphone communication was established and asked why I was still smiling. I said what else could I do? He told me it was fine to be always smiling and cited a verse from the Quran and continued: Do you know what happened to Hassan (my brother)? I said yes. He said he was happy with what the Almighty had decided for him. I was surprised to see a father say this on the death of his son. 98

115 A Shocked World Watches in Disbelief VIII A Shocked World Watches in Disbelief The following are examples of reports and resolutions by the United Nations and NGOs on the massacre of political prisoners in A report by Amnesty International IRAN VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS The Massacre of 1988 In mid-1988 the pattern of political executions changed dramatically from piecemeal 115

116 Crime Against Humanity reports of executions to a massive wave of killings which took place over several months. Even now, two years after these events, it is still not clear how many people died during the six-month period from July 1988 to January Amnesty International has recorded the names of over 2,000 political prisoners reportedly executed during this period. Iranian opposition groups, such as the PMOI, have suggested that the total was much higher. Speaking on French television in February 1989, Hojatoleslam Rafsanjani is reported to have said that the number of political prisoners executed in the past few months was less than 1,000 (Iran Yearbook 89/ 90). Since these events took place, Amnesty International has interviewed dozens of relatives of execution victims, and a number of former political prisoners who were in prison at the time when the mass killngs were taking place. It has received written information from many Iranians who believe that their friends or relatives were among the victims. These accounts, taken together with statements by Iranian Government personalities, have convinced Amnesty International that during this six-month period the biggest wave of political executions since the early 1980s took place in Iranian prisons. Two important political events preceded the executions, On 18 July 1988 Ayatollah Khomeini announced his intention to accept UN Security Council Resolution 598 instituting a ceasefire in the Gulf War between Iran and Iraq. A few days later, the National Liberation Army, a military force formed by the Iraq-based opposition group, the PM0I, staged an armed incursion into western Iran which was repulsed by the Iranian army. It has been suggested to Amnesty International by former prisoners that both these events may have influenced the government s decision to carry out these executions at this time. The ceasefire in the Gulf War meant that international attention was focused on international developments and not on the situation of political prisoners in Iran. The armed incursion by a PM0I force at a time when the Iranian Government had signalled its intention to cease fighting in the Gulf War gave the authorities a motive to take reprisals against prisoners associated with the PMOI who had been held in prisons around the country, often for several years. Former prisoners have also said that political prisoners were warned by their captors that when the war was over they would be dealt with. President Khamenei spoke in December 1988 of the decision taken by the Iranian authorities to execute those who have links from inside prison with the hypocrites [PMOI] who mounted an armed attack inside the territory of the Islamic Republic. An open letter to Amnesty International from the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the UN in New York stated: Indeed, authorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran have always denied the 116

117 A Shocked World Watches in Disbelief existence of any political executions, but that does not contradict other subsequent statements which have confirmed that spies and terrorists have been executed. (UN document A/44/153, 28 February 1989) The political executions took place in many prisons in all parts of Iran~ often far from where the armed incursion took place. Most of the executions were of political prisoners, including an unknown number of prisoners of conscience, who had already served a number of years in prison. They could have played no part in the armed incursion, and they were in no position to take part in spying or terrorist activities. Many of the dead had been tried and sentenced to prison terms during the early 1980s, many for non-violent offences such as distributing newspapers and leaflets, taking part in demonstrations or collecting funds for prisoners families. Many of the dead had been students in their teens or early twenties at the time of their arrest. The maiority of those killed were supporters of the PMOI, but hundreds of members and supporters of other political groups~ including various factions of the PFOI, the Tudeh Party, the KDPI, Rah-e Kargar and others, were also among the execution victims. The first sign that something was happening in the prisons came in July 1988 when family visits to political prisoners were suspended. This was the beginning of months of uncertainty and anguish for prisoners relatives as rumours began to spread that mass executions of political prisoners were taking place. No news of the political prisoners was heard for about three months. Relatives would go to prisons on regular visiting days only to be turned away by prison guards. Some brought clothing, medicines or money to the prisons hoping to get a signed receipt from their imprisoned relatives as an indication that they were still alive. Reports circulated among prisoners relatives that execution victims were being buried in mass graves. Distraught family members searched the cemeteries for signs of newly dug graves which might contain their relatives bodies. One woman described to Amnesty International how she had dug up the corpse of an executed man with her bare hands as she searched for her husband s body in Jadeh Khavaran cemetery in Tehran in August 1988 in a part of the cemetery known colloquially as Lanatabad, (the place of the damned), reserved for the bodies of executed political prisoners. Groups of bodies, some clothed, some in shrouds, had been buried in unmarked shallow graves in the section of the cemetery reserved for executed leftist political prisoners. The stench of the corpses was appalling but I started digging with my hands because it was important for me and my two little children that I locate my husband s grave. She unearthed a body with its face covered in blood but when she cleaned it off she saw that it was not her husband. Other relatives visiting the graveyard discovered 117

118 Crime Against Humanity her husband s grave some days later. A member of a communist group, he had been arrested in early 1985, tortured over several months and convicted after a summary trial at which, as a result of his torture, he was barely conscious. He never learned what his sentence was. His wife had been turned away from Evin Prison on a regular visiting day in early August, and had then started her quest for information which led her to the unmarked grave. In October and November 1988 the authorities began to inform families of the execution of their relatives. In a few cases prison officials informed relatives of the execution when they went to the prison for a normal family visit. This led to protests by prisoners relatives who gathered outside prisons, so other methods were devised. The majority of relatives appear to have been informed by telephone that they should go to an Islamic Revolutionary Committee office to receive news about their imprisoned relatives. There they were informed of the execution and required to sign undertakings that they would not hold a funeral or any other mourning ceremony. Family members were not informed where their relatives were buried, and even if they managed to find out they were not permitted to erect a gravestone. An Iranian who left Iran in late 1988 told Amnesty International how his family had learned of the execution of his brother, Hossein. In November 1988 the family received a telephone call instructing the father to go to Evin Prison to receive information about Hossein. Hossein s father and wife went to the prison where they were told that Hossein had been executed because he was not repentant and had not been improved by his imprisonment. They were not informed where his body was, and were told that they should not hold any funeral ceremony. Hossein had been held in Gohardasht Prison in Karaj where he was serving a 15- year sentence for activities in support of the PMOI. Hossein had been arrested in His brother told Amnesty International that at that time Hossein had been involved in political activities for the PMOI: collecting money and distributing leaflets and newspapers. His brother is convinced that Hossein was not involved in violent activities. The mother of a 39-year-old woman executed in Evin Prison wrote to Amnesty International describing a similar experience. Her daughter had been arrested in 1982 when she had been found in possession of leaflets produced by the PMOI. She had been tried by an Islamic Revolutionary Court but never informed of the sentence passed on her. For six years the mother had visited her daughter every two weeks. In early August 1988 her visits were stopped without explanation. In November 1988 she received a telephone call telling her to go to the Islamic Revolutionary Committee office near Beheshteh Zahra cemetery, where she was informed of her daughter s execution. She was instructed not to hold any mourning ceremony and was not informed where the body was buried. 118

119 A Shocked World Watches in Disbelief Relatives of prisoners executed in Orumieh Prison in Iranian Kurdistan have described to Amnesty International a form they had to sign when they were summoned to the prison to collect their relatives belongings. They were told where their relatives were buried, but the authorities had made sure that the 40-day mourning period had elapsed before telling the families about the executions. The form was an undertaking that they would not hold any form of funeral ceremony or erect any memorial on the graves. Amnesty International has received accounts of similar events in many different prisons in all parts of Iran: in Rasht, Sanandaj, Mashhad, Isfahan and elsewhere. This suggests to Amnesty International that the massacre of political prisoners was a premeditated and coordinated policy which must have been authorized at the highest level of government. The relatives of prisoners executed during this period have taken to gathering in Beheshteh Zahra cemetery in Tehran on Fridays to commemorate their dead family members. The mother of a 42-year-old man who had been arrested in 1983 and sentenced to 12 years imprisonment before being executed in Karaj Prison, wrote to her daughter outside Iran about one of these gatherings: On Friday all the mothers along with family members got together and we went to the graveyard. What a day of mourning, it was like Ashura! [A religious festival of particular importance to Shi a Muslims, commemorating the martyrdom of the Prophet Muhammad s grandson Hossein.] Mothers came with pictures of their sons; one has lost five sons and daughtersin-law. Finally the Committee came and dispersed us. This gathering of bereaved relatives has reportedly become a regular weekly event in the section of Beheshteh Zahra where political opponents to the government are buried. According to reports from relatives of executed prisoners in Iran, the makeshift monuments erected by the families, which consisted of a few stones and flowers, were removed by the authorities prior to the visit to Tehran by the UN Special Representative on Iran in January This was apparently an attempt to remove visible evidence of the mass killings from the sight of any possible inspection of the cemetery by the Special Representative. Amnesty International has also collected accounts of the mass killings as they were witnessed by political prisoners who were in prison at that time. A former prisoner in Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan said that almost every day between August and December 1988 prison guards came to his section of the prison and read out a list of up to 10 names. These people were then taken out of the cell, which generally housed between 150 and 300 people, and never seen again. The prisoners did not know what was happening to those taken away, but the guards said that they were to be executed. Later, prisoners were transferred to Dastgerd Prison from other prisons 119

120 Crime Against Humanity and news of similar events in these prisons spread among the inmates in Dastgerd. Prisoners in Gohardasht Prison in Karaj appear to have had a much clearer picture of the events which were taking place. Former prisoners have described to Amnesty International how a commission made up of representatives from the Islamic Revolutionary Courts, the Revolutionary Prosecutor s Office and the Ministry of Intelligence began to subject all political prisoners to a form of retrial in July These retrials bore little resemblance to judicial proceedings aimed at establishing the guilt or innocence of a defendant with regard to a recognized criminal offence under the law. Instead, they appear to have been formalized interrogation sessions designed to discover the political views of the prisoner in order that prisoners who did not repent should be executed the punishment of all those who continued to oppose the government. In Gohardasht Prison those detained for their alleged support for the PMOI were reportedly the first to go before the commission. Other prisoners received information about the trials from PMOI prisoners by way of messages tapped on walls in Morse code from room to room inside the prison. According to one prisoner held there at that time, the first question asked by the commission was: What is your political affiliation? Those who answered Mojahedin were sent to their deaths. The correct answer was monafegin (hypocrites). Those prisoners who survived this first phase of interrogation were then subjected to a second series of questions. These included questions such as: - Are you willing to give an interview on television to condemn and expose the monafegin? - Are you willing to fight with the forces of the Islamic Republic against the monafegin? - Are you willing to put a noose around the neck of an active member of the monafegin? - Are you willing to clear the minefields for the army of the Islamic Republic? The majority of prisoners were reportedly unwilling to give the desired responses and were consequently sent for execution. Some 200 out of 300 PMOI prisoners in Sections 3 and 4 of Gohardasht Prison were killed following this type of interrogation. The interrogations were reportedly conducted in such a way as to trick prisoners into making statements revealing their opposition to the government. The prisoners named the interrogators the Death Commission. It came to Gohardasht Prison three times a week, arriving by helicopter. The same commission was also reportedly at work in Evin Prison. At the end of August 1988 the Death Commission turned its attention to the prisoners from leftist groups held in Gohardasht Prison. These included supporters 120

121 A Shocked World Watches in Disbelief of the Tudeh Party, various factions of the PFOI, and others. The interrogations followed a similar pattern, with prisoners being asked if they were prepared to make public statements criticizing the political organization with which they had been associated. The leftist prisoners were also asked about their religious faith. They were asked such questions as: Do you pray? Do you read the Quran? Did your father read the Quran? One eye-witness of an interrogation in C~ohardasht Prison described how he was taken before the Death Commission with five other prisoners. The six were asked if they prayed or read the Qur an: they replied that they did not. They were then asked whether their fathers had read the Qur an. Four of them answered yes and two of them no After some discussion between members of the commission, it was decided that those who had not been brought up in a religious family were not as guilty as those whose parents were religious, because the former group had not been brought up as believers. Consequently, the two men whose fathers had not prayed were spared, but the four others were executed. According to another eye-witness account of this period in Gohardasht Prison, the decisions about which prisoners were to be executed and which spared were arbitrary in the extreme. Some prisoners who had been sentenced to death by the commission were spared because prison guards sent prisoners whom they disliked to be executed in their place. There was also a great deal of confusion as prisoners were transferred from different prisons~ and from section to section within the prison. As a result of such confusion prisoners were sometimes executed by mistake. The same eye-witness estimates that out of 900 PMOI and 600 leftist prisoners in Gohardasht Prison at the beginning of the summer of 1988, 600 PMOI prisoners and 200 leftist prisoners were executed. In Evin Prison, where the execution of prisoners was going on simultaneously, the proportion of executions carried out from the total population of political prisoners was much higher. One reason suggested for this is that in Evin there was no way for prisoners to communicate with each other, so they were unable to prepare answers to questions put to them by the Death Commission as prisoners in Gohardasht had done. A similar pattern of purposeful mass killing of political opponents, beginning with the PMOI but encompassing alleged supporters of other opposition groups, took place in dozens of other prisons around the country in the second half of Among others, Amnesty International has received reports of hundreds of executions of prisoners from Kurdish opposition groups in Orumieh Prison, and of 50 being executed in Sanandaj. Ayatollah Montazeri s letters to Ayatollah Khomeini in July 1988 reportedly criticized many of the aspects of the mass executions identified by former prisoners. 121

122 Crime Against Humanity Ayatollah Montazeri commented on the arbitrary way in which life and death decisions were taken: He [Ayatollah Montazeri] cited the case of a provincial mullah who had complained that a prisoner who had fully recanted was executed anyway. The prisoner, who was not named, said in response to the tribunal questions that he was ready to publicly condemn his past opposition, and to go to, the Gulf War front as well. But when he refused to declare his readiness to go to the minefields, the tribunal decided he had not truly changed and had him executed. (Reuters, 29 March 1989) In a later letter, dated 15 August 1988, Ayatollah Montazeri is reported to have demanded of the Minister of Intelligence, the Prosecutor General and the Chief Justice: On what criteria are you now executing people who have not been sentenced to death? (Reuters, 29 March 1989) Ayatollah Montazeri s letters show that there was awareness at the highest level of the government that thousands of summary executions were taking place without regard to constitutional and judicial procedures. The authorities were therefore either unable to prevent these mass killings from taking place, or they did not wish to do so. The mass killing of political prisoners appears to have stopped at the beginning of 1989, when several hundred repentant political prisoners were included in amnesties to mark the 10th anniversary of the Islamic Republic s foundation in February Those who were released had to sign statements denouncing their earlier political activities. They were further obliged to pledge large sums of money, or in some cases the deeds of the family house, against their future good conduct and non-involvement in opposition politics. The amnesty brought to an end a period of six to eight months which saw a massive reduction in the numbers of political prisoners in Iran through executions. Since February 1989 sporadic reports of executions of the government s political opponents in Iran have been received by Amnesty International. Some of these executions have taken place in public. For example, in March 1989 Mohammad and Saeed Khan Naroui were hanged from a crane in Abbas Ali Square in Gorgan. They had been imprisoned since 1984 for inciting the people to revolt. On 28 March 1990 the execution of two men described as bandits was announced by the Islamic Republic News Agency. Abbas Raisi and Ahmad Jangi Razhi were found guilty by the Islamic Revolutionary Court in Zahedan of collaborating with bandits and counter-revolutionaries in the Baluchistan area ( BBC Summary of World Broadcasts, 30 March 1990) Secret executions of political prisoners have also been reported. Following the assassination in July 1989 of the leader of the KDPI, Abdul Rahman Ghassemlou, in circumstances which suggest the involvement of the Iranian Government, resistance 122

123 A Shocked World Watches in Disbelief to the government, including armed opposition, is reported to have been stepped up in Iranian Kurdistan. The authorities are reported to have responded by executing Kurdish prisoners in Sanandaj and Orumieh Prisons. Executions of Kurdish opponents to the government have continued in Other political prisoners are reported to have been executed ostensibly as common criminals; they were among the hundreds of drug-traffickers and other convicted criminals executed in public in 1989 and 1990 For example, it was announced that 79 drug-traffickers were executed in different cities on 17 August 1g89. Among them were Mohammad Younesi, executed in Hamadan; Mohammad Gholi Ebrahimi, executed in Rasht; Bijan Biglari, executed in Kermanshah (Bakhtaran); and Bahram Kazemi and Massoud Sabet, executed in Shiraz. All these were reportedly political prisoners. Amnesty International has received no response to its requests for information from the Iranian authorities about the offences of which these prisoners were convicted. 123

125 A Shocked World Watches in Disbelief Excerpts from the Resolution passed by the UN Commission on Human Rights in 1989:... Expresses its grave concern at the reports of a wave of summary executions in the period from July to December 1988, as reported also by the Special Rapporteur on summary or arbitrary executions

126 Crime Against Humanity Excerpts from the report by the Special Rapporteur on Arbitrary Executions to the Fifty-fifth session of the United Nations Human Rights Commission: E/CN. 4/1989/25 page 28 Iran (Islamic Republic of) 142. Cables were sent to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran on 26 August, 14 September, 11 and 15 November, 1, 8, 9, 20 and 23 December 1988 concerning allegations that since July 1988 a large number of prisoners, said to be members or supporters of groups or organizations opposing the Government, had been executed and several others were facing imminent execution in various parts of the country. According to information received, a number of prisoners had their sentences of imprisonment changed to the death sentence or were executed even though their terms of imprisonment had been completed. The Special Rapporteur, mentioning a total of some 150 cases of prisoners whose names had been received, appealed to the Government on purely humanitarian grounds to ensure that the right 126

127 A Shocked World Watches in Disbelief to life of those persons was protected and requested information on the aforementioned cases On 13 January 1989, a cable was sent concerning 302 persons who might be facing imminent execution. According to the information, these persons, as in the cases communicated to the Government by the previous cables, had already served or were currently serving sentences of imprisonment. It was alleged that many of the persons in question were tortured and deprived of visits from their families In view of persistent reports received that several thousand persons had been executed without trial or with a trial of a summary nature, the Special Rapporteur appealed to the Government to ensure that the right to life of the above-mentioned persons was protected as provided for in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. He also requested information on the above-mentioned cases as well as any information on the fate of the persons mentioned in his previous cables, as follows: cable of 26 August concerning 12 persons, cable of 1 November concerning Ali- Akbar Shalgoolney and Adel Talebi, cable of 11 November concerning Fereidoun Faroughi, cable of 15 November concerning 24 persons, cable of 1 December concerning 55 persons, cable of 8 December concerning Soraya Ali-Mohammadi, cable of 9 December concerning Monireh Rajavi, cable of 20 December concerning 21 persons and cable of 23 December 1988 concerning 43 persons On the same day, the list of 302 persons was communicated to the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations Office at Geneva On 9 November 1988, a letter was sent to the Government transmitting the allegation that, since July 1988, a large number of prisoners had been executed in various parts of the country, without trial or with a trial of a summary nature. The victims allegedly included members and supporters of organizations and groups opposing the 127

128 Crime Against Humanity Government, and also Kurdish prisoners. The Special Rapporteur described by way of example the following allegations: (a) On 10 July 1988, 10 persons accused of being counterrevolutionaries and Iraqi spies were executed, (b) On 20 July 1988 about 20 persons belonging to political opposition groups were executed in Evin Prison. The victims included three members of the Tudeh Party and a member of the People s Fedaiyan Organization of Iran (majority). (c) Alleged collaborators with the members of the people s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) were publicly executed in Kangavar, Bakhtaran and Islamabad-e-Gharb. According to the official account, 15 PMOI supporters were executed on about 5 August They included seven persons executed on 1 August 1988 in Bakhtaran and one person on 3 August 1988 in Ilam; (d) On 28 July 1988, 200 prisoners said to be PMOI sympathizers, were executed in Evin Prison. In Mashad, 50 other PMOI sympathizers were executed; (e) On 14, 15 and 16 August 1988, 860 corpses were transferred from Evin Prison to the Behecht Zahra cemetery; (f) It was further alleged that on the night of 15/16 May 1988 a large number of Iraqi prisoners of war were found killed, their feet bound with ropes, in the Mawat region in northern Iraq The Special Rapporteur requested information on the alleged occurrence of summary or arbitrary executions and in particular the legal proceedings following which the alleged executions might have been carried out At the time of preparation of the present report, no reply had been received from the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. 128

129 A Shocked World Watches in Disbelief Excerpts from the Report by the Special Representative of the United Nations Human Rights Commission to the Commission s 1989 session (UN Document E/CN. 4/1989/26) 2. Written information (a) Information regarding the right to life 15. The information received by the Special Representative since the preparation of his interim report to the General Assembly contained in particular alleged violations of the right to life. In his interim report (paras ) the Special Representative referred to information he received in September 1988 alleging that a large number of prisoners, members of various opposition groups, had been executed during the months of July, August and September Since that date, the Special Representative has continued receiving persistent reports about a wave of executions of political prisoners. These reports were made available by various sources, including non-governmental organizations in consultative status with the Economic and Social Council and other bodies directly concerned by the alleged wave of 129

130 Crime Against Humanity executions. In addition, the Special Representative received hundreds of petitions and letters from private individuals around the world, including members of parliament from Australia, France, Germany, Ireland, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as well as members of the European Parliament from several countries, and trade-union and church officials, expressing deep concern at the alleged wave of executions and calling for United Nations intervention to bring such executions to a halt. 16. The precise number of alleged victims of the recent wave of executions has not been reported. The Special Representative has received more than 1,000 names (see annex), but it was alleged that there were in all probability several thousand victims. In that connection, the Special Representative was informed that the Special Rapporteur on summary or arbitrary executions had, during the period from July to December 1988, transmitted to the Iranian Government allegations regarding the summary or arbitrary execution of several hundred persons, and sent urgent appeals regarding approximately 150 persons said to be facing an imminent danger of execution. 17. Most of the alleged victims were said to be members or supporters of the People s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, but members of other opposition groups, such as the Tudeh Party, the People s Fedaiyan Organization, Rahe Kargar and the Komala Organization in Iranian Kurdistan, as well as at least 11 mollahs, were also said to be among the alleged victims. Many of the people said to have been executed had been serving prison terms for several years, while others were former prisoners who were rearrested and then executed. It would therefore seem unlikely that these persons could have taken part in violent activities against the Government, such as participation in the NLA incursion into the western part of the Islamic Republic of Iran in July Among those said to have been executed were several women and, in some cases, several members of the same family. It was alleged that many of those who had been serving prison sentences had had their sentences changed to the death penalty, in contravention of article 14, paragraph 7, of the International Covenant 130

131 A Shocked World Watches in Disbelief on Civil and Political Rights to which the Islamic Republic of Iran is a party. Many of the executions were said to have been carried out in secret while others were reported to have occurred publicly, by hanging or firing-squads. 18. Statements by several high-ranking officials were published by the Iranian news media to the effect that members of opposition groups should be dealt with severely, but there was no official acknowledgement of the wave of executions. Nevertheless, reports have been received acccording to which people witnessed large numbers of bodies being buried in shallow graves in the area of Behesht-e-Zahra cemetery in Tehran, where political prisoners are usually buried, and in other parts of the country. 131

133 IX A List of Victims Hitherto unpublished list of names and particulars of 3,208 victims of the massacre The following pages contain the names and particulars of over 3,200 political prisoners who were executed during the massacre of The photographs of more than 200 of the victims also appear on these pages. The list represents only about 10 percent of the total number of victims, but the task of collection of information on the executed prisoners has been excruciatingly difficult and fraught with danger. For the sake of the safety of many of the sources of the information regarding the list, we are unable to reveal the details of how the information has been collected, processed, double-checked and finalized. Suffice it to mention that several prisoners and other Mojahedin activists in Iran have lost their lives while working on this project. The clerical authorities went to amazing lengths to prevent any leak to the outside world of the news of the massacre. All prisons across the country were placed in a state of emergency on the day the carnage began. All leaves for the personnel were canceled until further notice. All telephone lines were cut except one that was used by the death committee. All guards and staff members with knowledge of the massacre had to participate personally in the killings, so that they would be party to the crimes and would not reveal their knowledge afterwards. In many prisons and wards,

134 Crime Against Humanity prisoners were executed to the last person to ensure that the secrets would be buried for ever. Only a few prisoners have emerged to tell the shocking tales of what went on inside the mullahs jails in the second half of Non-governmental organizations such as Amnesty International have also received eyewitness reports and interviewed former prisoners. These witnesses, coming from different prisons in Iran, tell a story that is the same in all its major aspects and varies only in details that are specific to every prison. The present list of victims, while incomplete, does provide a representative sample of the executed prisoners. A statistical breakdown reveals that 38 percent of the victims were hanged, 48 percent were executed by firing squads, and 14 percent were killed under a variety of circumstances: some died under torture, some were murdered when the guards blew up part of the prison, and some were hanged in public. There are numerous reports of political prisoners who were hanged in public during that time. Groups of Mojahedin prisoners, varying in number between seven and 20, were hanged in the full view of the people in the cities of Kermanshah, Harsin, Ilam, Dezful, Garmsar, Saveh, Varamin, Karaj, Tabriz, Mashad, Bandar-Abbas, etc. As last as early 1989, political prisoners were reportedly being hanged in public under the pretext of drug trafficking. Of the victims listed here, 35 percent were executed in Tehran, the majority of them in Evin prison. Fourteen percent were executed in Gohardasht prison in Karaj. Forty-six percent were killed in provincial jails. The place of execution of five percent is unknown. According to former prisoners, only 300 inmates out of the thousands who were being held in Gohardasht survived the killings by mid-september They were all transferred to Evin. More than Forty percent of the victims listed here were executed within three weeks after the executions began in late July. Of the more than 3,000 victims in this list, the Iranian regime has officially announced the execution of only 354 of them. Victims include teenagers as young as 13 and 15. Twenty-five percent of the victims were under 25 years old. Fifty-eight percent were under 30. Many like Saeed Daniali, Ahmad-Ali Vahabzadeh, and Massoud Darabi had been in jail since the time when they were only 13 years old. More than fifteen percent of the victims held university degrees. Twenty of the victims listed here were over 50. A 60-year-old woman, Sadat Hosseini, was executed in Shiraz. Another woman, known as Mother Shokri, was arrested after she protested the execution of her children. She was tortured to the 134

135 A List of Victims point of becoming paralyzed and was then executed in Qaemshahr, northern Iran. Mohammad Ebrahim Rajabi, 58, father of seven, was executed in Gorgan, after five years in jail. Her daughter, Parvaneh, was executed in Mrs. Fatemeh Zarei in Shiraz, Shahbaz Shahbazi in Rudsar, Zohreh Einol-Yaghin in Isfahan were among Mojahedin candidates in the first post-revolutionary elections in Other victims, such as Ashraf Ahmadi, Mohammad Golpayegani, Qolamali Rahbari, Ali Tab, Mehdi Jalalian, and Parviz Zolfaqari were political prisoners under the Shah s regime. Many servicemen and members of the mullahs armed forces, who supported the Mojahedin, were among the victims of the massacre. Col. Mir Fakhrai, Major Khalil Minai (ground forces), Major Maghsoudi, Seyed Mohammad Ziai (officer in the navy), Seyed Ahmad Seyedian (airborne special forces, 23rd Nohed Division), Hossein Razaghi (commando in the ground forces) and Mohammad Mirza- Mohammadi (police corporal) were among them. The wide range of professional background of the victims is another indication of how deeply the massacre cut into Iranian society, leaving practically no family unscathed in a country where extensive families are still predominant. The victims include workers, farmers, businessmen, physicians, military personnel, engineers, accountants, teachers, university professors, sports champions, and the list goes on. In the city of Tabriz, the regime s agents hanged in public two physicians who sympathized with the Mojahedin, Dr. Firooz Saremi, a Cancer specialist, and Dr. Tabibi Nejad, an obstetrician. Both were in their 50s. The geographical distribution of the executions shows that every region of the country was affected by the massacre. In some major provincial cities thousands were executed during the killings. Another shocking reality about the carnage is that many families were wiped out in their entirety by the executioners. Some families lost three, four and even up to ten of their members. The Shoja i family in Shahr-e Kord, central Iran, has lost 12 of its members. In Zanjan, the execution of Jaafar Hariri in 1988 raised the number of victims of executions in this family to six. In Isfahan, two sisters and a brother, Fariba, Farahnaz and Mohammad Ahmadi, were executed on August 3, The other brother, Mansour, was executed in Shiraz a month later. 135
