Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperScientificpeer-review

Abstract

In the past few years, a group of scholars and investigative journalists formed a research collective (Rastyad Collective) and studied this highly neglected massacre. After years of archival and field research under challenging circumstances, Rastyad Collective succeeded in creating an online database which covers the identities of more than 3500 victims in 85 cities (including hundreds of minors) and grave locations of hundreds of dissidents in the city of Tehran. In this event, the speakers will discuss the historical, legal, and political significance of the 1981 Massacre and reflect on the results of this research project.
