Iran’s Most Feared Mullah Acknowledges Massacre of Political Prisoners

http://newsblaze.com/world/middle-east/irans-most-feared-mullah-acknowledges-massacre-of-political-prisoners_82904/
#Iran massacred over 30,000 political prisoners in summer of 1988 and kept a lid on this atrocity for three decades. In this year’s presidential election a conservative cleric by the name of Ebrahim Raisi, one of the perpetrators of the massacre, was selected as a main candidate, resurfacing the 1988 massacre and forcing regime officials, one after another, to confess about the carnage.
Last week in an unprecedented interview, former Iranian intelligence minister Ali Fallahian revealed the mindset behind the 1988 mass execution. Fallahian, described as “perhaps the most feared mullah in Iran” by Newsweek, is wanted by Interpol for his involvement in the 1994 AMIA bombing that killed 85 people in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
In his interview Fallahian explains whoever had any relation with the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) was condemned to death.
“Imam [Khomeini] said you must execute those who are steadfast in their beliefs,” he said referring to the Iranian regime founder. “We couldn’t let them go and couldn’t keep them in jail. If we had kept them in jail, we would have had a bunch of people over our head telling us don’t keep them in jail. So a 3-man team of judges and ministers was assigned to oversee these cases, release those who were eligible and execute those that were not,” he continued.
In the summer of 1988 Khomeini issued a religious decree calling for the massacre.
“Whoever at any stage continues to belong to the (PMOI/MEK) must be executed. Annihilate the enemies of Islam immediately! … Those who are in prisons throughout the country and remain steadfast in their support for the MEK are waging war on God, and are condemned to execution … It is naive to show mercy to those who wage war on God,” the decree reads in part.
A committee of four men was formed to implement the order, and in a matter of a few months over 30,000 political prisoners were executed, mostly members and supporters of the main opposition PMOI/MEK.
“The principal point was to execute all prisoners, except those who were eligible for parole?” asks the interviewer.
“They were supposed to check and see and talk to the prisoners to find out if they still adhere to their beliefs,” Fallahian responds.
“What was the benchmark for evaluating who is steadfast and who is not?” asks the interviewer. “To say that I believe in the #PMOI and don’t believe in you,”Fallahian explains.

In a report in 2009, Amnesty called on “Iranian authorities to immediately stop the destruction of hundreds of individual and mass, unmarked graves in Khavaran, south Tehran, to ensure that the site is preserved and to initiate a forensic investigation at the site as part of a long-overdue, thorough, independent and impartial investigation into mass executions which began in 1988, often referred to in Iran as the ‘prison massacres’. The organization fears that these actions of the Iranian authorities are aimed at destroying evidence of human rights violations and depriving the families of the victims of the 1988 killings of their right to truth, justice and reparation.”
All we hear in the West is about Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, and their malignant actions in neighboring countries. For far too long the West has turned a blind eye to Iran’s atrocious human rights violations

اوراق الملالي تتساقط يوما بعد اخر والاعترافات بالجريمة تتلاحق

اوراق الملالي تتساقط يوما بعد اخر والاعترافات بالجريمة تتلاحق

http://www.iranfreedom.org/ar/%D8%AD%D9%82%D9%88%D9%82-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A5%D9%86%D8%B3%D8%A7%D9%86/961-%D8%A7%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%82-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%8A-%D8%AA%D8%AA%D8%B3%D8%A7%D9%82%D8%B7-%D9%8A%D9%88%D9%85%D8%A7-%D8%A8%D8%B9%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D8%AE%D8%B1-%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B9%D8%AA%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AC%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%85%D8%A9-%D8%AA%D8%AA%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AD%D9%82
 
اعترافات رموز الحكم في ولاية الفقيه ادلةادانة دامغة على الجرائم التي ارتكبوها بحق الشعب الايراني والوسائل الدنيئة التي تجسسوا بها على بلدان العالم فقد كشف وزير الاستخبارات الإيراني الأسبق، علي فلاحيان، في مقابلة تم بثها يوم الأحد على يوتيوب، أن جهاز الأمن في بلاده يرسل عملاءه إلى الخارج لجمع المعلومات بصفات أخرى مثل صحافيين ورجال أعمال ودبلوماسيين .

وقال فلاحيان في مقابلة إن وزارة الاستخبارات في فترة التسعينيات، قامت بنشاطات اقتصادية من أجل تغطية نشاطاتها الاستخباراتية لجمع المعلومات في الداخل والخارج، مضيفاً أن هذه الطريقة لاتزال مستمرة لكن بوتيرة أقل من السابق، حسب تعبيره.

وأضاف مخاطباً مقدم البرنامج: 'لا يمكننا أن نبعث أحد عملائنا للخارج، مثلاً إلى ألمانيا أو روسيا وأميركا، بصفته الاستخباراتية'.

وتابع فلاحيان: 'نرسل عناصرنا للخارج بصفة رجال أعمال أو صحافيين لجمع المعلومات'، وهو اعتراف يمكن أن يكون الأول من نوعه من وزير إيراني، حيث تداوله نشطاء إيرانيون على مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي الأحد بشكل واسع.

وحول الإعدامات الجماعية التي ارتكبها النظام الإيراني عام 1988 قال فلاحيان، إن خميني كان أكثر تشدداً من بقية السلطات في هذا الملف، حيث كان يصر على إعدام السجناء السياسيين، وأغلبهم من منظمة مجاهدي خلق المعارضة التي تطلق عليها إيران صفة 'محاربة الله'.

كان خميني يقول لا محاكمة لمجاهدي خلق فحكمهم الثابت هو الاعدام ،وهو بذلك يكشف عن مدى وحشيته ودمويته ،وعدم ايمانه بحقوق الانسان والعدالة التي تفرض محاكمة المتهم وعدم اصدار وتنفيذ الحكم المسبق به ،على وفق اوامر دكتاتورية بشعة بذريعة الخروج على الدين ومحاربة الله ،كما ورد في المادة الدستورية التي صاغها خميني ،وراح ضحيتها اكثر من ثلاثين الف سجين سياسي عام 1988واليوم تواصل المقاومة الايرانية حملة مقاضاة لرموز نظام ولاية الفقيه المسؤولين عن تنفيذ تلك المجزرة ومنهم شخصيات ما زالت تتربع دست الحكم وتشغل مراكز رفيعة  مثل رئيسي الذي رشحه خامنئي لمنصب رئيس الجمهورية واسقطه الشعب الايراني .

وفي رسالتها الى مؤتمر (اجراءات دولية لتحقيق العدالة ) الذي عقد في لندن يوم امس 18- تموز الجاري 2017 قالت الرئيسة مريم رجوي :
إن حركة المقاضاة من أجل شهداء مجزرة العام 1988، أخذت مداها بسرعة وهزت أركان كل النظام، كون جميع أجنحة النظام سواء أكان خامنئي أو روحاني قد شاركوا بشكل نشط في هذه الجرائم التي لا تعد ولاتحصى ضد الإنسانية وضد الشعب الإيراني.

إن المجزرة 1988، لم تعد موضوعا يقتصر على عوائل الضحايا فحسب، وانما جرح عميق في قلب المجتمع الإيراني ولا يعود يمكن تجاهله.


وأضاف وزير الاستخبارات الأسبق أن خميني كان يصر على إعدام السجناء الذين يصل عددهم حسب بعض التقارير الحقوقية إلى عشرات الآلاف.

وعند سؤاله عن عدد المعدومين من السجناء في عام 1988، سكت فلاحيان برهة وهو يمشط لحيته بيده، ثم قال إنه لا يعلم عدد الذين تم تنفيذ حكم الإعدام بحقهم، لكنه يعتقد أن العدد يصل إلى الآلاف.

وكانت الشرطة الدولية (الإنتربول) قد أصدرت أمراً باعتقال علي فلاحيان في نوفمبر عام 2016، بناء على طلب محكمة أرجنتينية لدوره وسلطات إيرانية أخرى في تفجير مركز يهودي بالعاصمة بوينس أيرس في 1994 الذي راح ضحيته 85 شخصاً.

وفي ذات السياق الذي يكشف رعب الملالي من سوء المصير على خلفية هذه المجزرة واتساع نطاق المطالبة بمقاضاة  رموز لجنة الموت التي نفذتها ، ومحاولة العقربين الابرز المتصارعين على السلطة القاء تبعاتها على العقرب الاخر ومحاولة البراءة منها او تبريرها .

تلفزيون النظام شبكة1 يوم 14/7/2017 بث تصريحات حسن رحيم بور ازغندي  احد بيادق زمرة خامنئي امام عدد من قادة الحرس .

وقد ابدى المتحدث ذعره في كلمته من الاصداء الواسعة لمجزرة عام 1988 وايضا مجازر عقد الثمانيات من القرن الماضي  في المجتمع الايراني مما أفضى الى الصراع بين الزمرتين في  مسرحية الانتخابات الاخيرة متهجما على الملا روحاني قائلا :« هل هذه الاعمال تعتبر اعمالا سلبية؟ ماذا حصل في عام 1988  انتم كنتم صاحب اليد الاقوى آنذاك اما تعرفون من كان مجاهدي خلق ؟ توجهون اصابع الاتهام نحو الإمام (قصده خميني)  وتضعون أمامه علامة الاستفهام».

يتحدث المتكلم عن هذاالموضوع بصفته كأس من السم يؤثر بشكل تدريجي على النظام: يريدون هندسة  الافكار العامة خاصة مسؤولي البلاد بحيث يكوّن هذا السم بشكل تدريجي  وبشكل جرعات ويستنتج  بانه يبدأ بجعل شعارات عقد ثمانينات القرن الماضي تحت الاستفهام في العقد الثاني من القرن الواحد والعشرين».

الذين يتحدثون  حول هكذا امور، البعض منهم يسيئون الى الإمام والثورة وأن لديهم خلفية في وزارة الاطلاعات وهذا يعني جعل هذه الحكومة من اهم الحكومات في مجال الامن والاستخبارات  منذ بداية الثورة ولحد الان وكلهم يتبجحون بانهم من المثقفين ويقولون نحن من الجامعيين يجب ان لاننظر الى المسائل من منظار الاستخبارات والامن.

ان هذا البيدق من تيار خامنئي يقول في نهاية الشوط كلامه الرئيسي :« ... ان هذا سوف يقلع جذورنا حتى ولو كنا نمتلك أكبر صوامع الصواريخ.»

أعدمنا كل المجاهدين حتى من كان عنده نسخة من جريدتهم أو من كان يشتري الخبز لوكره
المحامي عبد المجيد محمد
يتداول أخيراً مفاد لقاء ”علي فلاحيان“ الصحفي وزير مخابرات الملالي الأسبق في فترة ولاية هاشمي رفسنجاني الـ8سنوات على الألسن و قد نُشرت أخيراً في أجواء الإنترنت، حيث اعترف هذا الوزير سيئ الصيت بارتكاب مجزرة ضد 30 ألفاً من السجناء السياسيين في صيف عام 1988حسب فتوى خميني. 
من وجهة نظر حقوقية يعتبر هذا الإذعان الذي يلفظه عنصر رسمي حكومي قابل للإرائة في أية محكمة محايدة والإقدام به فعلاً حيث يقوي جميع الأدلة الأخرى تجاه هذه الجريمة المروعة.
كان الملا علي فلاحيان على رأس وزارة المخابرات طيلة 8سنوات من ولاية رفسنجاني (1989-1997) حيث يكون حالياً مطلوباً دولياً لارتكابه قيادة عمليات القتل المسلسلة وقتل الكثير من المعارضين والمثقفين الإيرانيين بسبب دوره المباشر في الاغتيالات خارج إيران.

نعم ، كان علي فلاحيان متورطا في قتل قادة الحزب الديمقراطي الكردستاني الإيراني في مطعم «ميكونوس» في برلين بآلمانيا( أيلول /سبتمبر 1992مباشرة حيث كان مطلوباً  بواسطة القضاء الآلماني وصدرت مذكرة دولية للقبض عليه. كما هو مطلوب بواسطة أنتربول في عام 2007 بسبب تورطه في تفجير استهدف مركز اليهود في الارجنتين في بوينس آيرس مما أسفر عن مقتل 85 شخصاً... فعليه إن فلاحيان ضمن قائمة المطلوبين الرئيسيين دولياً. وفضلاً على ذلك أصدر قاضي التحقيق في سويسرا في 20/آذار – مارس 2006 مذكرة قبض دولية على علي فلاحيان، باتهام تورطه المباشر في اغتيال الدكتور كاظم رجوي ممثل المجلس الوطني للمقاومة الإيرانية في جنيف والذي اغتيل في 24/ آبريل – نيسان 1990بضواحي جنيف بواسطة إرهابيي نظام الملالي .

الجدير بالذكر أن حراك المقاضاة لمجزرة ضد 30 ألفاً من السجناء السياسيين في صيف عام1988الذي دعت اليه وأعلنتها السيدة مريم رجوي أخذت مدى جديدا بحيث أصبحت معضلة جدية لنظام الملالي مما دفع علي خامنئي الولي الفقيه للملالي في 4حزيران الماضي لاتخاذ موقف تجاهها حيث قال:
« نحذر الذين هم أهل الفكر والتأمل ويحكمون حول عقد الثمانينات من أن لا يغيروا مكان الشهيد بالجلاد».

إن تصريحات خامنئي الغاضبة تعود إلى هزيمته في هندسة الانتخابات وعدم قدرته لإيصال إبراهيم رئيسي إلى مقعد الرئاسة حيث اضطر أن يخضع لولاية الملا روحاني ”المحتال“ الثانية. لاشك ان سبب هزيمة خامنئي جاء نتيجة نشاطات أنصار المقاومة الإيرانية ومنظمة مجاهدي خلق في جميع أرجاء إيران ضد محاولات خامنئي اليائسة لإيصال إبراهيم رئيسي وحسن روحاني وهما من رموز النظام تم اختيارهما ليكون فعالياتهم الإعلامية لهما حيث وبترويج شعار ”لا للجلاد ولا للشياد“ حولوا هذا الشعار إلى شعار عام في إيران، الشياد يعني الملا روحاني وشعار ”لا للجلاد“ يقصد به إبراهيم رئيسي وهو كان أحد أعضاء كبار في لجنة الموت في ارتكاب مجزرة صيف 1988حيث حولته هذه النشاطات إلى ورقة محروقة بالذات.

وقال علي فلاحيان وزير مخابرات الملالي الأسبق في ولايتي رفسنجاني أخيراً في لقاء أجرى معه تلفزيون ”آبارات“ على الانترنت: «بالنسبة لمجاهدي خلق وجميع الجماعات المحاربة حكمهم الإعدام..كما كان يقول السيد موسوي تبريزي الذي كان آنذاك المدعي العام للثورة: أصلاً لا يحتاجون إلى المحاكمة لا داعي للمحاكمة ولا معنى للمقاضاة. كان الإمام يؤكد دوماً أن تكونوا بحيطة والحذر أن لا يفلتوا من أيديكم .. الإمام كان يؤكد أن يكون الاحتياط من هذه الجهة يعني المهم الإعدام لأنهم دائماً يستحقون الإعدام ، كان هذا حكم الإمام الولائي ، سواءً كان قبل المجزرة أو بعدها».

يعترف وزير المخابرات الأسبق أن الكثير من المعتقلين أعدموا لمجرد توزيع الجرائد أو توفير المواد الغذائية لأنصار المقاومة .ويستمر بالقول: ”عندما يكون أحد عضواً للفرقة التي تقاتل بالسلاح، لا يختلف أهذا الشخص يكون مسلحاً أو لا ... يمكن يشتري أحد للوكر رغيف خبز، والآخر يوفر مواد أخرى ... على أية حال فجزاءه إعدام». 
فنلاحظ كيف يعترف هذا العنصر الحكومي بارتكاب المجزرة ضد 30ألفاً من البشر الأبرياء في صيف 1988وبالأحرى يؤيدها.  

فعليه لا يبقى ثمة شك في ملف حراك المقاضاة من أجل ارتكاب المجزرة في صيف 1988 وبهذا الاعتراف الصريح والقوي دون أي ثغرة لنوايا الولي الفقية للملالي الخبيثة يجب القاء القبض على جميع الآمرين والمنفذين لهذه الجريمة والمثول أمام العدالة .وهذا أقل حقوق لأولياء الدماء وأسرهم الأحياء بعد ارتكاب هذه المجزرة. 
وسيعلم الذين ظلموا أي منقلب ينقلبون...

Selon les médias du régime iranien, la politique américaine consiste à changer le régime en Iran

La télévision d’État est effrayée par l’idée de la chute du régime et un changement en Iran. #CNRI – La télévision d’État du régime iranien est effrayée par l’idée de la chute du régime et un changement en #Iran. Selon la perspective de la première chaine du régime iranien : « La politique américaine consiste sans aucun doute à renverser l’Etat (en Iran). Ils veulent en réalité changer le système avec des résolutions et par la force. »
La chaîne iranienne a affirmé dans un reportage le 13 juillet 2017 : « Donald Trump et sa politique ont en fait une touche d’hystérie concernant l’accord sur le nucléaire, la nature de la République islamique d’Iran et ses activités dans la région. M. Trump cherche à exercer une pression sous la forme d’actions légales et semi-légales ; ou selon ses propres mots, à mettre en place une politique dure envers la République islamique d’Iran.
« Sans aucun doute, la politique américaine veut un changement de régime en Iran. La nature de leur régime n’est pas compatible avec la République islamique d’Iran. Peu importe le parti au pouvoir, démocrates ou républicains, ils essaient tous de changer le régime avec des tactiques différentes.
« Le diplomate américain Rex Tillerson a fait des remarques intéressantes. Il a déclaré que ‘L’ancien système américain, dont le gouvernement Obama, nous a fourni de nombreux dossiers. Néanmoins, nous allons faire aboutir ces dossiers avant le prochain gouvernement’. Selon lui, il faut changer le régime iranien notamment en exerçant des pressions économiques, en passant des résolutions et par des intimidations militaires. »

Khamenei's Fear of Public Outrage of Regime Crimes, Especially in 1980s, and Popular Acceptance of Resistance

Khamenei's Fear of Public Outrage of Regime Crimes, Especially in 1980s, and Popular Acceptance of Resistance


http://ncr-iran.org/en/ncri-statements/iran-resistance/23193-khamenei-s-fear-of-public-outrage-of-regime-crimes-especially-in-1980s-and-popular-acceptance-of-resistance



Praising a film made by IRGC for whitening these crimes, and ordering a film to whitewash the butcher of Tehran
While public outrage and hatred of the massacre of political prisoners in the 80s is growing, the Justice-Seeking movement is advancing, and the PMOI and Iranian Resistance are more welcomed by the Iranian people, Khamenei resorts to a humiliated act to praise the film titled as "Majera-ye Nimrouz". This film was made upon Khamenei’s order by the fascist bands of the Revolutionary Guards and was aimed at whitewashing and justifying the numerous crimes of this regime in the 1980s.
The government's media reported on July 15 that the film was shown to Khamenei, after which its producers went to meet Khamenei. While praising the film producers, he said, “The film was very good. All the components of the movie were great, it was directed greatly. The actors and the scenario were excellent. The film was well-made.” Prior to this, even some state-affiliated individuals had made comments regarding the distortion of historical events in the film and had said that the film narrated a period when the government executed PMOI members mercilessly.
Khamenei's meeting with the producers of the film, which happened in March last year according to state media, was made public with a few months delay at a time when Khamenei and the regime at its totality received a terrible blow from the Iranian people and Resistance and failed to bring Ebrahim Reisi to the office in presidential election.
Fifteen days after this defeat, Khamenei warned on June 4th against the change of place of the martyr and hangman in the 80s.
In that meeting, Khamenei called for producing a film about Assadullah Lajevardi, who was nicknamed the butcher of Tehran and Eichmann of Iran, and said: "Let's do something for Mr. Lajevardi. He is one of the characters that deserves something to be done for him.” Lajevardi was hated by all the Iranian people for executing tens of thousands of political prisoners and imposing the most brutal tortures on political prisoners, especially on women. So many pregnant women, young girls and elderly mothers were executed by this hangman. The number of executed prisoners in 1981 and 1982 sometimes reached 400 political prisoners per day.

Azghandi, one of the agents of Khamenei's gang, revealed the mullahs’ regime’s fear of the widespread Justice-Seeking movement and said, “In the 2010s, they are putting Khomeini under question via the 1980s slogans, and have started trialing Khomeini.” He attacked the other faction for admitting to some of the crimes of the regime's anti-human crimes and said: "These individuals have been responsible for the security of the country for 30 years, for 20 years. No security orders were issued without their signatures; half of our authorities have been working for the Intelligence Ministry….Members of our government have a background of working for the Ministry of Intelligence.... These acts mean the destruction of Imam (Khomeini); they don’t mention anything about Imam, the target is Imam himself though…” (State TV-channel 1- July 14, 2017)

FORMER INTELLIGENCE MINISTER TALKS ABOUT 1988 MASSACRE OF MEK PRISONERS IN IRAN

FORMER INTELLIGENCE MINISTER TALKS ABOUT 1988 MASSACRE OF #MEK PRISONERS IN #IRAN

http://irannewsupdate.com/news/human-rights/4000-former-intelligence-minister-talks-about-1988-massacre-of-mek-prisoners-in-iran.html

INU - Ali Fallahian, a former Intelligence Minister of Iran, participated in an interview with Tarikh Online – a state-affiliated news website, earlier this month. He admitted that the Supreme Leader at the time, Ayatollah Khomeini, ordered the execution of anyone linked to the Iranian opposition (MEK) in a fatwa in 1988.
During the summer of 1988, more than 30,000 political prisoners, most of whom were members or supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI or MEK), the main Iranian opposition group, were executed.
He said that the fatwa ordered the execution of the MEK members who insisted on maintaining their beliefs. To deal with the logistics of it, a commission was formed, he said. This is what has become known as the “Death Commission”. Fallahian said that the purpose of the commission was in actual fact to see who would be pardoned instead of being executed.
He explained that the people could have escaped execution by saying that they no longer hold their beliefs and do not support the MEK or any other opposition. If they declared their commitment to the Supreme Leader they would have remained alive.

Mr. Hossein-Ali Montazeri released an audio recording of him warning the other members of the death commission about what they were partaking in. He said that such an act would go down in history as an unforgettable and horrific event. He was also concerned that it was not a good image of Islam. Fallahian said that he also clashed with Khomeini on other matters, and he was instructed to carry out his religious duties, in this case to participate in the 1988 massacre, without any regard for “history’s judgement”.
The Iranian regime has commented that the people who were executed in 1988 were armed when they were arrested, but Fallahian explained that this was not the case. Not all of the people who died were part of armed rebellion activities. Fallahian said that they did not distinguish between those who were armed and those who were not – if they were faced with a member of the MEK then they were treated as if they were armed.
The interviewer, clearly shocked by what they were hearing, asked Fallahian to clarify what he said. They asked him that if someone was carrying a MEK newspaper, would they have been arrested. Fallahian said yes, because they were part of the MEK.
The people of Iran are still waiting for justice despite repeated calls by the international community.

A TRIBUTE TO ZOHREH, WHO TAUNTED HER TORTURERS IN IRAN



A TRIBUTE TO ZOHREH, WHO TAUNTED HER TORTURERS IN #IRAN

The dictators commit crimes to keep the power for a longer time. On the other hand, there are always people who stand against them and pay the price for freedom. In the recent history we have Hitler and Khomeini. One has been defeated and somehow brought to justice and the other one have not been yet, but will be. Khomeini killed 120.000 people to survive its ruling.
At the first glance it looks just a number but each unit of this enormous number represents a life with all its details. Hassan Mahmoudi, a human rights advocate, has revived on of this glorious numbers, whose name was Zohreh Heydari. 
"The Nazi hunters from Germany were midway through a four-hour interview with Judith Meisel when they pulled out a photo of a young S.S. guard the 88-year-old Holocaust survivor hadn't seen for nearly 75 years."
The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported on July 8, 2017:
In a desperate, final dash to bring the guard and others to account for Nazi atrocities committed decades ago, investigators from Germany's Federal Justice Office, aided by FBI agents, visited Meisel's St. Louis Park, Minn., home last month after once thinking that there were no more living survivors of Stutthof. Founded by German authorities after an internet search, Meisel offers a rare chance for prosecutors to present one more survivor's account of a brutal camp in Poland where 60,000 died.
"I think it's important to send the message that no matter how long ago these crimes were committed that humanity will seek justice until it can no longer do so," said Gregory Gordon, a former federal prosecutor who worked on cases involving Nazi war criminals.
Although history will never forget the lessons and memories of Holocaust, ironically, history repeats itself with similar events.  The dates and the names of the players may change, but the general motifs remain the same.

Zohreh Heydari was a 17-year-old Iranian woman from the city of Qom (125 kilometers by road southwest of Tehran).  She was part of the first group of people who were taken away during the massacre in the summer of 1988, executing more than 30,000 people in Iran.  She was sentenced in court to 70 lashes, and the night prior to her execution, she received those 70 floggings.
The massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in Iran was a crime against humanity.  Khomeini desired to get rid of his main opponents and guarantee the survival of his regime.  After three decades, there is a movement seeking justice for that massacre and the other crimes conducted by the Iranian regime.
Zohreh Heydari is certainly an inspiration to all those women now continuing the struggle against Iran's corrupt, misogynist mullahs.  Her courage and bravery, her capacity to take risks, and her strong willpower contributed to her mature appearance. 
"She was arrested while trying to escape the country," said her fellow inmate, "on her way to joining the resistance.  She underwent a tremendous amount of torture and used to recount her memories from the period of interrogation.  She used to say, 'The torture room seemed so small to me that upon my return to my cell it felt as if I have stepped in to a hotel. I would take advantage of that space until it was time to return for more torture the following day.'"
Zohreh used to stand steadfast against the interrogators from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.  Whenever the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRG) in Evin Prison would rush into our cells to attack us, they would directly go to Zohreh and assault her, assuming she was guilty and responsible for everything.
She used to suffer from severe migraine headaches.  "They used to rush into our cells with their lashes, beating everyone.  Due to Zohreh's headache, she had not partaken in our protest this time around.  However, Halvaee, that evil executioner who had a particular hate for Zohreh, directly approached Zohreh and started kicking her with his heavy boots.  Zohreh started yelling, 'you malicious, dirty guard, leave me alone!  Don't you get close to me!'  It was exactly because of her continuous persistence that we had nicknamed her 'Waterfall.'  Her shouts were similar to the roar of the waterfall as it continuously pounds upon falling."
Zohreh and I were on a hunger strike together for a month in Gohardasht Prison.  When we were transferred to solitary confinements, our cells were near each other, so we were able to know how the other was doing.
We preoccupied ourselves by learning various languages and dialects such as Azeri, Shomali, and Kurdish.  Ever since those days, the Azeri word "oushachlar," meaning "friends" or, more colloquially, "guys," has become very popular and is still used to this day.  That's how we used to refer to each other.  And that's how the word "waterfall" (Aabshar in Farsi, phonetically similar to Oushachlar in Azeri) came to signify Zohreh. 
Whenever we were moved or transferred to different cells, Waterfall was the one in charge of announcing wake-up calls and blackouts.  In fact, her voice was so loud and clear, as if it were coming through a speaker, reaching from one side of the hall to the other.  She was also in charge of announcing daily prayers while in solitary confinement.  Each morning, she would yell out, "Hey, oushachlar [guys], good morning!"  At the time of prayers, she would call, "Oushachlar, it's time for prayers.  Let's pray together."  And at the end of prayers, she'd say, "May God accept our prayers, oushachlar."  When they turned off the lights at nights, Zohreh's loud and clear voice would break the silence in our cells by wishing everyone a good night.  All the guards recognized Zohreh's voice and knew that Waterfall was her nickname.  She was not afraid of anyone and would face them all singlehandedly. 
The female guards were not capable of punishing or silencing her, hence they always sent brutal male torturers.  One day, as dusk was falling, she called everyone to prayers.  "Oushachlar, it's time for prayers!"  We all stood up in our cells for prayers.  Like the usual routine, she called out, "May God accept your prayers" once we had finished.  She hadn't fully completed her sentence when we heard her cell's door open, followed by the voices of three men.  We realized they had been waiting to attack her after our prayers.  On the one hand, we could hear the beatings of those three heinous torturers, and on the other hand, Zohreh's voice, shouting, "Get out of my cell, you evil bastards!  Don't you touch me!"  
An hour of this unjust but proud battle continued.  The rest of us who were in the surrounding cells started banging on our doors and yelling to leave the poor girl alone.  We didn't know what had happened to Zohreh, as she had gone silent.  The beatings had continued for more than an hour.  Only the voices of those three who were taking out their revenge and hatred on her could be heard.  They left her cell after a while, and although we kept calling Zohreh, she didn't respond to any of us.

THE TRUTH ABOUT IRAN'S EVIN PRISON

https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8192565116681125439#editor/src=sidebar


n a Scandalous effort to dodge accusations of violation of human rights, the Evin Prison’s torturer arranged a ‘Prison Party’ by inviting some foreign diplomats working in Iran. The act was so ignominious that sparked protests by the human rights bodies and political prisoners.  Here is an Op-ed by Heshmat Alavi about the issue.Two months have passed since the May presidential “elections” in Iran that saw the incumbent Hassan Rouhani reach a second term.
The pro-Iran appeasement camp in the West went the distance to raise hopes over the hoax of Rouhani rendering major reforms. 
These voices somehow described Rouhani as a “reformist” and completely neglected the over 3,000 executions during his first term as president. Reports from across the country are turning out to be very disturbing, signaling more troubling times to come in reference to human rights violations.
As fellow Forbes contributor Ellen R. Wald reported, “On July 16, news came out that an American graduate student at Princeton University named Xiyue Wang had been sentenced to 10 years in an Iranian prison for ‘espionage.’”
This is Iran again resorting to old tactics of taking Westerners as hostage, mainly dual citizens, to be used as bargaining chips in advancing objectives and politics in negotiations with interlocutors.
Another practice the regime in Tehran will continue is sending scores to the gallows. The Iranian opposition National Council of Resistance of Iran issued a report recently indicating 57 individuals have been executed across Iran in the beginning of July alone.
 Reports from inside Iran also indicate nearly 120 inmates held in a prison west of Tehran are on the verge of execution. These hangings are planned for the next few weeks, their families say citing authorities, and the sentences of at least 13 individuals are to be implemented soon.
These alarming reports have all arrived only after a recent tour launched by the mullahs for dozens of foreign ambassadors to visit the notorious Evin Prison located in the hilltops of northern Tehran.
But of course, no human rights organization or international prison expert were invited, only selected areas of the prison were shown, and merely hand-picked images were provided to the media to depict a highly peaceful environment and go against any claims of rights violations.
This PR show in Evin, with its history of atrocities, was coupled with Iranian state media outlets pumping reports claiming the jail being upgraded to state-of-the-art conditions.
Iranian authorities went the distance to showcase specific facilities provided only to rich inmates behind bars for financial crimes. These areas included a gym, an in-house beauty salon, a library and also a restaurant.
What needs clarification to the outside world is the fact that Evin, along with many other prisons, has a dark history of widespread executions, tortures, and inhumane and unbearable conditions, to say the least. The regime in Iran, with a track record of 63 UN condemnations of human rights violations, is hardly in any position to claim of providing inmates with adequate conditions.
If Iran truly intends to be transparent, why not begin permitting all international human rights organizations unlimited access to any and all areas of each and every single prison across the country?
Following this orchestrated tour, Human Rights Watch made a call to Tehran seeking access for rights groups to these prisons. HRW is among many similar entities seeking access to Evin as the facility has been closed to human rights investigators representing independent international and national organizations.
While there is no expectation for Iran to begin allowing any honest visits, two female political prisoners wrote an open letter explaining the atrocities they endured in Evin.
Golrokh Iraee and Atena Daemi
Political prisoners Golrokh Iraee and Atena Daemi described”solitary cells with no windows, ventilation and lavatory,” “dungeons and dark interrogation rooms,” and “cells known as graves” in Evin.
Why this international delegation not visited the women’s ward of Evin where female political prisoners like themselves are held, they asked. Their letter goes on to explain how ward 4 of this prison was renovated by the inmates transferred to solitary confinement on the very day of the ambassadors’ visit.

Mrs. Maryam Akbari Monfared, another political prisoner whose three brothers and sister were executed during the 1988 massacre of over 30,000 political prisoners across Iran, also wrote an extensive open letter as she spends her eighth year behind bars in Evin. Having experienced a variety of Iran’s jails for decades, Monfared wrote, “I’ve witnessed with my own eyes the devaluation of human and humanity” and experienced atrocities also in Shahre-Ray and Gohardasht prisons.

UNDERSTANDING IRGC’S LONG-TERM GOALS IN IRAQ



UNDERSTANDING IRGC’S LONG-TERM GOALS IN #IRAQ


“I announce from here the end and failure and the collapse of the terrorist state of falsehood and terrorism which the terrorist Da’esh (ISIS) announced from Mosul,” the Iraqi Prime Minister declared on state television recently.Following a three-year long blitz, Iraqi forces with the support of the international coalition, have now defeated ISIS in Mosul, despite all challenges and sectarian disputes.
But the defeat of ISIS has created a vacuum and there are some hard questions about Shi’ite militias such as the People Mobilization Units (PMU) that must be answered. This is particularly important because the PMU was established because of the sectarian divisions in Iraq.
But what role will the PMU play in the future of Iraq? Who will control and command the PMU? It is a known fact that some Shi’ite militant groups in Iraq – such as the Kata’ib Hezbollah, Badr Organization and Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq – are supported by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Thus, it is not surprising that these militias pursue IRGC’s goals and depend on Tehran for their financial and military supplies. It is worth pointing out that a few days ago, the commander of IRGC’s Quds Force, Qasem Soleimani, said that the IRGC “had been working around the clock to arm the PMU” after its establishment.
This makes them under command of the IRGC’s Quds Force. Apart from financial affiliation and weapons, these groups have indicated that they believe in and are loyal to the Iranian regime’s ideology of Khomeinism who was the flagbearer of “the path to Quds (Jerusalem) goes through Karbala”.
In 2014, a Reuters report said that “Asaib and Kata’ib Hezbollah, who have sent fighters to Syria to defend Shii’te shrines ... recognize #Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei as their spiritual leader.”
Direct dependence on Tehran
Despite this direct dependence on Tehran, the PMU has been incorporated in Iraq’s armed forces. Muqtada al-Sadr, an influential Shii’te cleric who Lead one of the PMU's groups, expressed his concern with this development in Iraq in an interview and said, “I can see that Iraq will be under the control of militia groups.”
He then demanded that security should be exclusively under the control of Iraqi army. The Iranian regime has long sought to create a safe corridor from Iran to Lebanon. Consequently, the existence of a domestic paramilitary force parallel to the traditional army in Iraq is crucial for the IRGC and Tehran’s plan for future of that country.
Due to the growing demand in the US Congress and the White House contemplating to designate the entire IRGC as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, the Iranian authorities, need a heavily-armed paramilitary force, such as the PMU, to keep the corridor safe and to achieve their goals in Iraq.
This is because the successful terror designation of the IRGC will limit the Iraqi government’s ability to cooperate and provide facilities to the Iranian regime. Hence at this stage after the defeat of ISIS, it is only the regime in Tehran who will profit and rip the benefits of the PMU’s existence.
In addition, the existence of a parallel paramilitary force with an extreme Shi’ite ideology will undermine the country’s constitution, as this militia will follow the politicians who support it rather than the country’s constitution or the government.
Replicating Hezbollah
In this case, the Iranian regime is trying to replicate its creation of #Hezbollah in #Lebanon and strives to establish a similarly trustworthy paramilitary force in Iraq in order to take control and dominate the Iraqi politics in favor of its agenda.
It is true that there are disagreements among the militia groups, which form the PMU about the destructive and destabilizing actions of the IRGC. But the Iranian regime will try to bribe or eliminate any influential clerics or opposition, if this proves to be necessary.
Another reason for the Iranian regime increasing its intervention in Iraq today is the upcoming Iraqi elections. If the Islamic Dawa Party with the former Iranian-backed PM, Nouri al-Maliki, loses that elections to some other politicians like the progressive Shi’ite voice Ayad Allawi, the IRGC’s corridor will be threatened.
Unchallenged, the commander of IRGC’s Quds Force, Qasem Soleimani will use the PMU to tilt the upcoming elections in Iraq to Tehran’s favor and secure the outcome that the regime in Iran prefers.
