London UK. 8th October 2016. Activists of the Iranian People's Fadaee Guerrillas in London and the Democratic Anti-imperialist Organisations of Iranians in Britain hold a vigil in Tragalgar Square on the 27th anniversary of the massacre of an estimated 18,000 political prisoners held in Iranian jails by the Iranian regime following its defeat in the Iraq/Iran war in the Summer of 1988. The 3 months of killing by the Iranian regime of communists, progressives, patriotic activists and intellectuals of all ages ended at the beginning of October 1988 but details only began to emerge years later and the exact numbers are still not known.
