Aformer Iranian political prisoner has described his torment during the seven years he spent in the mullahs' jails in Iran. Karim Moradi, an Iranian human
rights activist and member of the Society of Iranian Political Prisoners, gave
his account of the 1988 massacre of political prisoners in Iran in an article
on Friday in TheHill.com:I am often asked by my American friends what I think
about the Iran deal. As someone who spent seven years of his life imprisoned in
Iran, it is difficult for me to give a simple answer. I have spent the past few
weeks reflecting not on the nuclear deal with Iran, but on the summer of 1988,
when Iran systematically massacred 30,000 political prisoners in a matter of
weeks.
