17th anniversary of the massacre at Khavaran cemetery, one of the burial places used for the mass graves.

1988 executions of Iranian prisoners (Persian: ۱۳۶۷ اعدام زندانیان سیاسی در تابستان) refers to the systematic slaughter of hundreds of political prisoners across Iran by the government of Iran. The main target were members of the MKO.[1][2][3] The incident occurred after MKO led by Massoud Rajavi attacked the western borders of Iran. Vorlage:Fact The estimates for number of executions vary from around 1,400 [4] to 30,000[5][6].

Response

Grand Ayatollah Hossein-Ali Montazeri has written in his memoirs that this massacre[1], deemed a crime against humanity, was ordered by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and carried out by several high-ranking members of Iran's current government. Ahmad Khomeini, whom Montazeri accused of collaboration in the killings, died mysteriously during the Chain Murders of Iran.

In addition to members of People's Mujahedin of Iran, others executed included members belonging to the Tudeh Party of Iran[7].
