In her first address to the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Ms. Asma Jahangir, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of Human Rights in Iran, called for a comprehensive and independent investigation into the massacre of political prisoners in 1988.

In a report written by Asma Jahangir, Special Rapporteur on the situation of Human Rights in Iran, she addressed the various concerns about the deteriorating human rights of the people of Iran. This report, which was then handed over to the United Nations General Assembly by Secretary General Antonio Guterres, included areas such as "Rights to freedom of expression, opinion, information and the press" and "Freedom of association and assembly and the situation of human rights defenders" as well as an update on the case regarding the 1988 massacre of political prisoners.

Cross party members of the British parliament and political personalities joined the Anglo-Iranian communities from across the UK and called upon the British government to take the lead for the establishment of an independent committee to investigate mass executions of 30,000 political prisoners in 1988 and to bring those responsible to justice. They stressed the time has come to end impunity for Iranian officials who are responsible for serious human rights abuses in the country.

In Trafalgar Square, London, the families of the victims of the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in Iran have been gathering three times a week to raise awareness about the atrocities which took place in the summer of that year.

In association with the Justice-Seeking Movement, the families set up exhibitions and book stands, in the busy London square, as well as gathering petitions from the public.

The organisers of these gatherings include volunteers of the Anglo-Iranian Engineers, Association of Women and Youth Against Fundamentalism, Anglo-Iranian Youth Association among many others.
