VICTIMS OF IRAN'S CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY IN IRAN
1988 MASSACRE OF POLITICAL DISSIDENTS
Victims Of Iran’s 1988 Massacre
Gathering information about victims of execution and crimes against humanity is always a noble but daunting task.
It is next to impossible to name all the victims of dictatorial regimes, as many political executions are carried out in secret. What has happened in Iran since the beginning of the 1980s is an example of such a reality.
Upwards of 120,000 people have been executed by the Iranian regime for political reasons. Most of the executions were carried out in secret, and the vast majority of the victims remain nameless to this day.
It is estimated that as many as 30,000 political prisoners, primarily affiliated to the opposition PMOI (MEK), were summarily executed during Iran’s 1988 massacre alone. Some sources have reported that the figure may have been as high as 34,000.
Various lists of thousands of the victims have already been published by a number of groups. As part of its effort to document the true scale of the tragedy, JVMI has embarked on an ongoing campaign to list the names and details of the victims. We hope to build up on what has already been published by various opposition groups and NGOs.
We encourage all families of the victims and anyone knowledgeable about specific cases of executions which have been omitted from our list to use our web form to submit any available information so that it could be investigated by our victims’ database team and updated on our list in due course.

The 1988 executions of Iranian political prisoners was a series of state-sponsored execution of political prisoners across Iran, starting on 19 July 1988 and lasting for approximately five months.
According to Amnesty International, "thousands of political dissidents were systematically subjected to enforced disappearance in Iranian detention facilities across the country and extrajudicially executed pursuant to an order issued by the Supreme Leader of Iran and implemented across prisons in the country. Many of those killed during this time were subjected to torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment in the process."
The killings have been described as a political purge without precedent in modern Iranian history, both in terms of scope and coverup. However, the exact number of prisoners executed remains a point of contention. Amnesty International, after interviewing dozens of relatives, puts the number in thousands; and then-Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini's deputy, Hussein-Ali Montazeri put the number between 2,800 and 3,800 in his memoirs, but an alternative estimation suggests that the number exceeded 30,000. Because of the large number, prisoners were loaded into forklift trucks in groups of six and hanged from cranes in half-hour intervals.
