After 50 years of tyrannical rule by the Shah and his father, when the savagery and crimes committed by the Shah and his secret police, SAVAK, reached their peak, the people of Iran became determined to overthrow his regime. They sought to establish a system in which imprisonment, torture, execution and massacre had no place. Naturally, such a transformation demanded its own price. Tens of thousands of Iranian men and women had to be sacrificed, all murdered by the Shah and his agents. At the time (1978), special circumstances within Iran, particularly the Shah's suppression of all political organisations, and outside the country allowed an individual by the name of Khomeini to take advantage of the people's movement. He was able to impose himself as the Revolution's leader by abusing the people's sincere sentiments. It is evident that such an imposition could not have been accomplished easily. After living abroad for fifteen years, during which time he conducted no activity other than issuing statements on a few rare occasions, Khomeini saw the ripe opportunity ...

PREFACE
This book is a report on the violation and abuse of human rights by the Khomeini regime, covering a period of over three years. June 20, 1981, stands as a major turning point in that span of time, for that was the day when Khomeini ordered his armed guards to open indiscriminate fire on the innocent people, including women and children who had taken part in the peaceful 500,000-strong demonstration called for by the Mojahedin.
The incident on June 20, 1981, which signalled the start of a new phase in the Iranian people's Resistance, divide this book into three chapters. The first chapter deals with the Khomeini regime's crimes before that day. It shows how Khomeini began his attempts, from the first day of assuming power, to destroy all kinds of peaceful opposition to his despotic regime and how his armed agents attacked and even murdered young girls in the streets, simply because they were selling the Mojahedin publications. By June 20, 1981, which marked the end of this period,over 70 of the Mojahedin had been killed and 2,500 of them imprisoned by the regime, for the sole "crime" of selling the Mojahedin publications or participating in election campaigns.
After June 20, 1981, and the coming to light of the Khomeini regime's savage nature,its atrocities rose to new heights with every passing day and these are dealt with in the third chapter.
In the end, there is a list detailing the names of some of the executed individuals, over 95% of whom belonged to the Mojahedin. Other lists name those groups and personalities throughout the World, who have declared their support for the "National Council of Resistance" (N.C.R.), as the only alternative to Khomeini's regime.
Chapter 1
A brief account of the policy of continuous torture and
massacre before June 20,1981, when the Resistance began.
A brief history of Khomeini's policy of torture and
massacre prior to June 20,1981:
After 50 years of tyrannical rule by the Shah and his father, when the savagery and crimes committed by the Shah and his secret police, SAVAK, reached their peak, the people of Iran became determined to overthrow his regime. They sought to establish a system in which imprisonment, torture, execution and massacre had no place. Naturally, such a transformation demanded its own price. Tens of thousands of Iranian men and women had to be sacrificed, all murdered by the Shah and his agents. At the time (1978), special circumstances within Iran, particularly the Shah's suppression of all political organisations, and outside the country allowed an individual by the name of Khomeini to take advantage of the people's movement.
He was able to impose himself as the Revolution's leader by abusing the people's sincere sentiments. It is evident that such an imposition could not have been accomplished easily. After living abroad for fifteen years, during which time he conducted no activity other than issuing statements on a few rare occasions, Khomeini saw the ripe opportunity and suddenly began to talk of democracy, freedom and opposition to the oppression …

he kissed the rope and shouted "Down with Khomeini!".
