Iran Tribunal to Investigate the “Bloody Decade”

A group of scholars, historians, and legal experts is gathering in London to hear evidence of crimes committed by the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran during the 1980s. The tribunal has no official legal status, but seeks to operate professionally, shedding light on a decade that saw thousands disappeared and executed. More information can be found on their site.
