(Screenshot, Iran International) (CNS News) -- On May 3, more than 150 former U.N. officials, human rights activists, and legal experts sent an open letter to the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights requesting that a "Commission of Inquiry into the 1988 mass extrajudicial executions and forced disappearances" in Iran be established. The letter notes that the 1988 killings of thousands of political prisoners across Iran, mostly of supporters of the People's Mujahedin of Iran, may have constituted "crimes against humanity." Family members of the victims and survivors are today the “subject of persistent threats, harassment, intimidation and attacks because of their attempts to seek information on the fate and whereabouts of the individuals and their demands for justice," according to the letter.
