As the world wonders what can be done with the leaders of Iran,
this report by a leading UN jurist establishes that many of them -
including the Supreme Leader - committed an international crime
when they approved and carried out a secret massacre of thousands
of political prisoners. This atrocity in 1988, hidden at the time
from UN investigators, is now revealed in its full scope and
horror, inviting the question of whether the very men capable of
his level of lawlessness and barbarity against their own people can
be trusted with nuclear power. Geoffrey Robertson QC meticulously
unravels the fanatic theocratic thinking that led to the mass
murder and identifies the judges, diplomats and politicians (most
of them still in positions of power in Iran) who carried out and
covered up this "final solution" to the problem of political
dissent. He tells how "thousands of prisoners were blindfolded and
paraded before the death committee which directed them to a conga
line leading straight to the gallows. They were hung from cranes,
four at a time, or in groups of six from ropes hanging from the
stage of the prison assembly hall. Their bodies were doused with
disinfectant, packed in refrigerated trucks and buried by night in
mass graves the locations of which were (and still are) withheld
from their families." Mr Robertson concludes that these killings
were of greater infamy than the Japanese death marches at the end
of World War II or the slaughter at Srebrenica, and he urges the UN
to set up a Special Court to ensure that their perpetrators are
similarly punished.
