Background
Ashraf Rajavi and Moussa Khiabani were two prominent political prisoners in the Shah era. Both were MEK’s candidates for the first parliamentary elections after the 1979 revolution. Then regime’s supreme leader Ruhollah Khomeini prevented even one MEK member from reaching the Parliament.
The MEK constantly warned against the abuses of the new regime, including the repression of women, minorities, and all opposition forces.
On June 20, 1981, the MEK tested the democratic environment a final time by holding a peaceful demonstration to remind the Khomeini regime of its responsibilities to respect the fundamental freedoms of the Iranian people. In Tehran, more than half a million people attended the demonstration.
Fearful of the repercussions of the huge rally, Khomeini ordered his Revolutionary Guards to open fire. Dozens were killed, hundreds wounded, and thousands executed. Khomeini had unleashed a reign of terror.
In the ensuing days, the regime’s forces chased and executed many of the Mojahedin’s members in the streets, and thousands were dragged into the regime’s prisons, where they were subjected to inhuman tortures and later executed. Women, children, elderly—no one was spared.
Following the banning of all opposition forces, the Khomeini regime executed and murdered some 120,000 people, most of whom were affiliated with the MEK, culminating in the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political prisoners, none of whom had been sentenced to death.
Despite such brutality and savagery, Khomeini failed to extinguish the flame of resistance in Iran. Ashraf Rajavi and Mousa Khiabani, and their fellow comrades had not died in vain. Today, the younger generation of Iranians organized in Resistance Units are carrying their torch until the medieval theocracy is overthrown.
The Resistance Units spread handwritten slogans in various places that read, “We’ll continue the path of Ashraf and Mousa until the regime’s collapse. Their blood is our torch in this way,” “Ali Khamenei will be overthrown,” and “Ashraf and Mousa are alive in our hearts inspiring the young generation with the highest motivations.”
