The image used in this project is a collage published by Amnesty International showing some of the victims of Iran’s 1988 prison massacres.

Their bodies were not returned to their families, and information about their fate and burial places has continued to be concealed. | The image used in this project is a collage published by Amnesty International showing some of the victims of Iran’s 1988 prison massacres.
