Announcement of the 26th Conference on the Killing of Political Prisoners in the 1960s
Another year has passed since the decade in which the Islamic Republic covered the people and society of Iran with a garment full of blood. The Islamic Republic began the killing of revolutionaries who opposed the establishment of an authoritarian government on June 30, 1360, by executing dozens of political prisoners. The government’s attack on the revolutionaries on this day marked the beginning of a great massacre and crime that culminated in the massacre of thousands of political prisoners in 1967. Between 1967 and 1967, the Islamic Republic arrested and tortured tens of thousands of the best sons of the masses of the Iranian people, and sent nearly twenty thousand people to death squads. This great human slaughter was not only the killing and elimination of opponents, but also an attack on the entire society and the establishment of an unbridled tyranny and repression that still torments Iranian society and people.
The Islamic Republic established a society in which “the gravedigger’s wages exceeded the price of human freedom.” The forty-year record of the Islamic Republic is entirely black and bloody. The blood that was shed in and outside prison in the sixties and the years before and after that will always hang on their unclean existence. It is blood and will remain on the body of society and history, whose path will be nothing but uprising and liberation from tyranny and religious rule.
This year, as every year, in honor of the memory of thousands of political prisoners and fighters who shed their blood for the Islamic Republic, and to prevent forgetting and recalling a period in Iran’s contemporary history that was overshadowed by the bloody claws of the Islamic Republic, we will hold a special program at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 14, 2019, corresponding to September 23, 2019, at the Husbytorf Assembly Hall in Stockholm. In this program, three young second-generation women in exile, Sahar Mohammadi, Pardis Shafafi, and Shora Makaremi, will give lectures on “The History of Litigation and a Look at Litigation from a Legal Perspective,” “Anthropology and Its Relationship to Litigation,” and “Is Litigation the Only Way to Litigation?” respectively. Rostam Mirlashari and Fariborz Fakhari will be guest artists for this program.
