The Islamic regime executed between 5,000 to 7,000 political inmates in the days following the acceptance of cease fire in Iraq-Iran war. The bodies were carried to Khavaran and dumped into a massive grave.

In the last years, the Islamic regime authorities have tried to sell Khavaran cemetery for various construction. They hope that a buyer would help to erase the trace of such genocide.

Till few years ago, plainclothes agents were posted near Khavaran in order to beat the victims families or to dump excrement on the massive grave.
