In the aftermath of the 1979 Revolution in Iran, thousands of political prisoners as well as the sympathisers of the political opposition groups critical of the Islamic Republic government, some as young as 16, were charged with an arbitrary crime called Moharebeh or Enmity against God and/or apostasy and were subsequently executed. In this publication Justice for Iran has sought to examine the 1980's massacres with a fresh perspective and from a different angle by researching, documenting and analysing the effect of the 1980's massacres on the families of the executed political prisoners, with particular emphasis on the mothers and families of Khavaran. The main purpose of this publication is addressing the gross violation of the basic human rights of the families of the 1980's political prisoners from the early days of 1980's to date. Furthermore, noting the concealment of the fate and whereabouts of the disappeared political prisoners in the 1980's by the Islamic Republic Government, another purpose of the report is to explore the notion of Enforced Disappearance and violation of the rights of the rights of the families of the disappeared political prisoners.
