In July 1988, the Islamic Republic of Iran agreed to bring an end
to the brutal eight-year war with Iraq. Over the next two months,
under the orders of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini, political
prisoners around the country were secretly brought before a
tribunal panel that would later become known as the Death
Commission. They were not told what was happening and did not know
that one 'wrong' answer concerning their faith or political
affiliation would send them straight to the gallows. Thousands of
men and women were condemned to death, many buried in mass graves
in Khavaran Cemetery in the vicinity of Tehran. Through eyewitness
accounts of survivors, research by scholars and memories of
children and spouses of the deceased, Voices of a Massacre
reconstructs the events of that bloody summer. Over thirty years
later, the Iranian government has still not officially acknowledged
that they ever took place.
