A few years ago, construction work started on Rudsar Shohada Boulevard in a place believed to be the mass grave site of the 1988 massacre victims. A trade centre is supposedly under construction. If it continues, Rudsar mass grave will be hidden forever from public access and view.
Mass graves and disappeared individuals buried therein constitute a part Iran’s history which is being censored, hidden, and distorted by the authorities. Mass grave sites should be preserved as crime scenes until investigation can be carried out by independent experts.
