For five months, families desperately searched for news about their imprisoned loved ones. When finally they were summoned to prison, they were given a bag and told that their prisoner had been executed -- no explanation, no last will, no body, no burial location. To this day, no Islamic Republic official has assumed responsibility. To this day, talking about it is a taboo.

The world can now learn about the 1988 prison massacre in Iran's prisons, unique in the known history of state crimes. Written by Anonymous See less
