London, 15 Jul – Families of the victims of the 1998 massacre of political prisoners in Iran are still waiting for justice and an international tribune. After the 30th anniversary of this inestimable loss, so are the Iranian people.

During only a few months of 1988, 30, 000 political prisoners were systematically executed in a horrific purge. Prisoners, including teenagers as young as 14, were loaded onto trucks in groups and hanged from cranes.

London, 14 Jul – The Iranian authorities recently arranged a rare visit for representatives of up to 45 foreign diplomatic missions from Europe, Asia, Africa and South America, to see the notorious Evin prison. Tehran conceded that the tour was an exhibit meant to counter negative reports about the prison, and display what they called the “excellent facilities”, including an in-house beauty salon, gym, library and restaurant.

London, 14 Jul – The Iranian Regime invited the ambassadors of 45 foreign countries to take a tour of the notorious Evin prison in Tehran, last week, to see how the Regime treats prisoners.

However, there is one massive problem with this: it was all planned by the Regime.

So, the Regime had time to relocate the prisoners which they had beaten, to close off the wing with the political prisoners, and to threaten the other prisoners into compliance in order to make the Regime look as good as possible.
