IRAN-execution of political prisoner, Behrouz Alikhani, the first Rouhani's gift to the British foreign minister after his trip toTehran

The main flaw of the policy of appeasement and #IranDeal is the silence on #HumanRights abuse in #Iran  and mullahs' hegemonic goals in the region. And encouraging the brutal regime for more repression.
Since Rouhani took power as a president in Iran so far 2000 prisoner had been executed.
Acording to Amnesty International, Iran has already carried out more than 700 executions in Iran so far this year.


Despite of the activities and campaign to halt the execution of political prisoner, Behrouz Alikhani, in early this morning  August 26th the anti-human clerical regime in Iran has executed him. Behrouz was 30-year-old from Iran’s Kurdish minority.

#1998iranmassacre-Untold story of Mahmood Hassani one of Iran's 30,000 political prisoners executed in summer of 1988

Radio Irava with Sara Hassani Canadian PHD student and researcher. Aug.16,2015.

The summer of 1988 is truly the darkest times in modern Iranian history. Some 30,000 political prisoners were executed under the direct and written order or Fatwa of Ayatollah Khomeini. The massacre is described as a political purge without precedent in modern Iranian history, both in terms of scope and cover up. Many of the prisoners were serving their prison terms and many were near the end of their sentences and were supposed to be freed. The massacre of political prisoners lasted a few weeks and their lifeless bodies were left inside unmarked mass graves in different cities and towns.
The majority of the victims belonged to the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran or PMOI. Number of individuals who belonged to lefties and other groups were also executed. The PMOI exposed this political genocide for the first time in the same year just a few months after the massacre.
Every year the Iranian dissidents around the world commemorate those brave souls for they were taken from somebody's parents, sister, brother, son and daughter, aunt, uncle, classmate, colleague or teacher....
My guest today is Sara Hassani whose uncle Mahmood was executed during 1988 massacre. Sara is a PhD student in Politics who studies middle eastern resistance and self-sacrifice. Sara is a Canadian of Iranian descent and never met her uncle, but as you will hear, you would agree with me that how much Mahmood Hassani's life and death has affected his niece's view of the world around her.
