Forouzan Abdi, the captain of the national volleyball team, who was executed


According to the available information about the victims of 1367, an official court was not held for them with the presence of lawyers and prosecutors. The prisoners who were executed in 1967 were taken to answer a few questions in front of a special panel of 3 people, which consisted of a sharia judge, a representative of the Ministry of Intelligence and Tehran’s prosecutor. This delegation asked left-wing prisoners questions related to their beliefs and their belief in God and religion.

The families of the massacre victims of 1367 strongly protested the unfair and illegal trials that led to the execution of thousands of prisoners within a few months. In a letter they wrote to the then Minister of Justice, Hassan Habibi, in 1367, they questioned the official policy of concealment regarding these executions and considered it to be an indication of the illegality of the executions. They have been reminded that the vast majority of the victims were prisoners who had already been sentenced to imprisonment in Sharia courts and were serving or finishing their sentences. These prisoners were tried again and quickly sentenced to death.
