Firing Squad In Iran, Jahangir Razmi, 1979
On August 27, 1979, 11 men who had been convicted of being “counterrevolutionary” by the regime of Iranian ruler Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini were lined up on a dirt field at Sanandaj Airport and gunned down side by side. No international journalists witnessed the killings. The Iranian photographer Jahangir Razmi had been tipped off to the trial, and he used two rolls of film to shoot the executions.
