Stop obliterating remnants of Humanitarian crime of 1988

In attempt to erase the remaining signs of massacre of political prisoners i summer of 1988, Islamic Republic of Iran plans to completely demolish Khavaran cemetery (the only known of none Muslim dissidents and those executed during summer of 1988). Join us to protest against yet anouther round of savagery and cruelty, this time against families of victims.
Sign the petition Higher Commissioner of Human Rights at UN
Your Excellency Ms. Navanethem Pillay High Commissioner of Human Rights at the UN
With deep disbelief and disdain we have become aware that the authorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran have undertaken the destruction of Khavaran Cemetery, the only known site of mass and individual graves of the victims of the Great Massacre of political prisoners in the summer of 1988 and other non- Muslim dissidents executed in Iran through out the Seventies.
I beg your honor to urgently take action demanding the authorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran to immediately stop this barbaric operation.
The destruction of Khavaran is tantamount to the eradication of an important material evidence of a historic crime.
Respectfully,
