The municipality of Paris organized a special exhibition this week on a series of executions carried out in Iran in the 1980s of political opponents.
The exhibition featured photos and biographies of thousands of people executed by Iran’s revolutionary courts.
It also included an audio tape of Ayatollah Khomeini’s deputy Ali Montaziri who in a letter criticized the leaders of the revolution back then for the executions, warning them that “they will one day be remembered as criminals.”
In recent years Iran has been criticized by the United Nations and human rights organizations for its high rate of executions of political prisoners without fair trials.
