What does the public know about the Islamic Republic of Iran? We understand that the power of the Ayatollahs, basing on Islam, eliminates all those who do not declare their allegiance to the regime. This investigative inquiry looks into a series of assassinations which took place in Autumn 1998. The population was up in arms. One month later, for the first time, the Iranian Minister of Information and Security admitted its responsibility. We discover the tactics used by the Iranian authorities to make sure that those who give the orders are never named: the Ayatollahs in power wrote Fatwas condemning a certain number of opposition members to death. In January 2001, the Military Tribunal of Tehran, tried and convicted a few agents of the Ministry of Information and Security. The victims' families boycotted the trial. Today they continue their struggle to have those who are "truly responsible" charged and tried before an independent and competent tribunal of justice.
