Tehran, Karafarinane Eghtesad – Sa’eed Ohadi, the Head of the Foundation of Martyrs and War Veterans Affairs, has announced that a comprehensive legal dossier detailing the crimes committed against 175 Sacred Defense divers will be unveiled and formally submitted to the United Nations. 

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Ohadi emphasized the significance of the documents, which were meticulously prepared by the search committee for missing persons under the General Staff of the Armed Forces.

The dossier focuses on the tragic fate of 175 divers from the Sacred Defense era, who were captured by Iraq’s Ba’athist regime during the imposed war from 1980 to 1988.

According to the document, the divers were handcuffed, buried alive in a mass grave, and subjected to what Ohadi described as the “almost unprecedented crimes”. 

The planned submission of the dossier to the United Nations underscores Iran’s commitment to preserving the memory of its martyrs and holding the perpetrators accountable for war crimes. 

The revelation is part of the government’s ongoing efforts to document and highlight the sacrifices made by Iranians during the Sacred Defense. The dossier is expected to draw global attention to the historical injustices faced by Iranian combatants during the Iraq-imposed war in the 1980s.
