Yahoo News has reported that a new campaign group has been set up to get justice for the people who died in the 1988 massacre in Iran.

Alejo Vidal-Quadras, former vice-president of the European Parliament, spoke at the UN premises in Geneva on Wednesday 21st September. He called for an investigation into the 1988 massacre and the referral of its dossier to the Security Council. The full text of his speech can be found on the website of the National Council of Resistance or Iran (NCRI).

Le Temps, a French-language newspaper published in Switzerland, printed an article about the formation of the organisation ‘Justice for the victims of the 1988 massacre Iran’. An English translation of the article can be found on the National Council of Resistance of Iran’s (NCRI) website.

News published on websites and in social media indicate that a group of environmental activists have been under severe interrogation in prison for more than 60 days. Five of them are allegedly in solitary confinement and have no access to a lawyer.

The Guardian has published a letter in which justice and an investigation is sought for the death of Shahrokh Zamani in an Iranian prison.
