Abbas Abad- Kelardasht Road

In Mazandaran province, on the road from Abbas Abad to Kelardasht, there is an area called Diargahband. There used to be an old well beside the road through here. Locals have reported that the bodies of 11 political activists, executed in Chalus, were dumped into the old well by the Revolutionary Committee of Abbas Abad during June and July of 1981. Authorities covered the well up with mud and sand after disposing of the bodies.

Informed sources have identified some of the prisoners buried in this mass grave. They had all been arrested in Chalus or Tonekabon and charged with supporting guerrillas from the Organization of Iranian People’s Fadaian (Majority).
