Middle East REGIME OF BLOOD Iran planning to execute 30,000 in repeat of horror 1988 ‘massacre’

Two political prisoners were suddenly executed at dawn on Sunday

 

IRAN'S merciless regime is plotting to kill tens of thousands of prisoners in a repeat of the 1988 massacre, insiders fear.

Rattled supreme leader Ali Khamenei has ordered a surge in executions - turning hangings into public spectacles in a chilling warning to dissidents.

 

 

Iranian authorities have executed two political prisoners, Mehdi Hassani, 48, and Behrouz Ehsani, 70, following convictions widely criticised as politically motivated. Both men had previously spoken out against the government. Hassani, a father of three, had earlier shared a voice message expressing concern over the state’s actions, while Ehsani had said he was prepared to give his life in support of freedom in Iran.

 

The executions come amid growing pressure on the Iranian regime following international efforts by the U.S. and Israel to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions. Critics say the government is increasingly using arrests and executions to suppress dissent, particularly in politically turbulent times.

 

Iran’s internal unrest appears to be escalating. In one case, political prisoner Saeed Masouri, who has served 25 years in jail, was forcibly moved from his cell and placed in solitary confinement. A handwritten letter from Masouri warned of a possible repeat of the 1988 mass execution of political prisoners in Iran. His transfer followed a raid by over 100 guards, who allegedly beat detainees and moved them under restraint to different parts of the prison.

 

Masouri has since been transferred to Zahedan Prison. In his letter, he drew parallels between current state actions and past events, claiming intensified repression signals growing insecurity within the regime.

The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and various UK politicians have urged the international community to take action. They argue that a focus on Iran’s nuclear capabilities must not overshadow ongoing human rights violations. Baroness O’Loan stated that the same individuals involved in national security threats are responsible for alleged atrocities within Iran’s prison system.

 

Dowlat Nowrouzi, UK representative for the NCRI, said the failure to hold the regime accountable has created a culture of impunity. She called for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and others to face international justice.

Family members of the executed men have reported that they were not informed in advance of the executions. According to Hassani’s daughter, the family was denied a final visit and were unaware the execution was scheduled.

The bodies of Ehsani and Hassani have reportedly not been returned to their families. Insiders suggest the state plans to conduct secret burials to avoid public scrutiny.

 

Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the NCRI, called on the United Nations to take action. She described the executions as a political move intended to strengthen regime control and delay its decline.

In a separate incident reported last month, Iranian security forces allegedly opened fire on inmates in Dizel-Abad Prison during an Israeli airstrike nearby. The authorities claimed the deaths were caused by shrapnel, but eyewitnesses accused the guards of deliberate lethal force.

 

Recent months have also seen mass arrests. Around 700 people were reportedly detained in June over suspected links to a foreign spy network.

 

Iran continues to be criticised for its human rights record. According to international watchdogs, the country maintains one of the highest execution rates globally.

what do you expect when you send your military age men to a foreign country that greets them with open arms. Achmed knows his job is to start unrest and populate to overtake

[FlorC]

 

Yes in 10-20 years there will not be much difference between London and Iran.

30.000 executions in future London will all be white natives though.

 

During the 12 day war , a lot of traitors and foreign agents where there , 

and yes , caught , should be executed.

Executing for just critizising the government is a bit too far.

London just raids them and locks them up.

Errr, while no fan of the Iran theocracy, would be good to have some reference for their plan to "execute 30,000".

The article is not very insightful at all. Needs more research and fine tuning.

The claim that Iran is planning to execute 30,000 prisoners in a repeat of the 1988 massacre is not substantiated by concrete evidence but is based on credible fears driven by the regime’s recent actions, historical precedent, and explicit calls for mass killings from state media. The 1988 massacre, with estimates ranging from 2,800 to 30,000 deaths, serves as a chilling template, and current executions (e.g., Hassani and Ehsani) and arrests suggest escalating repression. The Fars News editorial and prisoner warnings, like Saeed Masouri’s, raise legitimate concerns, supported by UN and human rights groups, but the specific figure of 30,000 appears speculative. The international community, including the UN, is being urged to act to prevent a potential atrocity.

I guess this is causing some pro death penalty members to salivate. The idea of mass executions is sickening for me as I imagine how many were just passers-by at a demonstration. Broken eggs/omelette etc.

Easy to spot bias and propaganda reporting in articles that use certain keywords. Get your priorities right UK/USA by stopping murders in Ukraine and Gaza that you started /supporting before commenting on what might happen in Iran.

I think we all know that there is very little (if anything at all) that the UN can/will do to be able to prevent such an atrocity. The UN is useless when it comes to many things.

[AustinRacing]

While thousands are dying one would think stopping it would be of a greater priority especially when they’re directly involved. As to Iran well those who plotted  and assisted foreign countries to murder locals and attempt to overturn the government, in most countries, would face harsh punishments.

It's all he has left is invoking fear and until the people get sick of him, let him clean up the prisons system to make room for his class of stupid, nasty, hateful degenerates (no, no Helen). 🤠

It's fear mongering to the plebs in the West who couldn't find Iran on a map.
