This
report is a collection of witness statements documenting the
experiences of five female prisoners in connection with the Islamic
Republic of Iran’s summary execution of thousands of political
prisoners during the summer of 1988. These witnesses recount, in vivid
detail, the climate of fear, chaos and utter confusion that took hold
of the prisons immediately before the executions began in July 1988.
One witness describes her efforts to obtain information about her
imprisoned husband, while the others provide harrowing accounts of
events inside the prisons. Along with its companion report, Deadly
Fatwa: Iran’s 1988 Prison Massacre, this report contributes to
documenting a national tragedy that has inexplicably received little
international attention.
