September 2, 2003, MEHR Iran will sponsor its 2nd conference in
“Remembrance of the Massacre of Thousands of Prisoners of Conscience by the
Islamic Regime of Iran in summer of 1988.” Based on MEHR’s proposal, Amnesty
International recognized September 1st as the universal memorial
day for massacre victims during its 2003 General Meeting. Fifteen years have passed
since the Islamic regime of Iran brutally killed thousands of political
prisoners so that it could continue its mediaeval despotic rule. MEHR is
pleased to announce that on the fifteenth anniversary of this horrible day
and after six years of hard work it has finally filed a law suite against the
Islamic regime of Iran through the Center for Justice and Accountability. This event is organized to
inform the world community of this horrific crime, a crime that has been
ignored for so many years. The objective of the conference is to unveil the
crimes of the Islamic Regime, which is responsible for these and many other
murderous acts. This conference will also emphasize the importance of seeking
justice for the victims through international avenues. In addition, this
conference hopes to appeal to the freedom loving people of the world to help
us stop the interest-driven Western governments from supporting the Islamic
Regime. |
