Iranian photographer Jahangir Razmi, took 70 pictures of an execution in Kurdistan on Aug. 27, 1979. One picture (No. 20, below) won the Pulitzer Prize. It was, however, awarded to an unnamed photographer -- the only anonymous recipient in the 90-year history of the award. Mr. Razmi preserved 27 of the photos on a contact sheet and stowed it away in his home. Below are those photos -- made public for the first time.

I hope Mr. Razmi is living outside Iran in a safe place
So do I. Thanks for posting this.

Murderous Mullahs.
Rock band?
No. Just more content from The Religion of Peace.
Thanks. Every time I tried to post the pic I got the red x.
I thought it was something to do with FR's agreement with WSJ or something.
Hmmmm. I wonder what I did differently?
According to the article he lives in Iran.
Not for much longer.

"According to the article he lives in Iran."
I was afraid of that. I wish him good luck then.
I don't have a subscription, so couldn't read the article.
Isn't Josh Prager Dennis's nephew?
I don't know
The religion of peace- fearlessly spreading their agenda at the end of a gun. http://sacredscoop.com
At the end of the linked video clip, the reporter who uncovered the photographer said he "hopes" and "trusts" that there will be no reprecussions for the photographer. Good luck, indeed.
"The religion of peace- fearlessly spreading their agenda at the end of a gun."
The Kurds killed were muslim. Khomeinism originated in Iran 27 yrs ago and they were "spreading their agenda at the end of a gun" the same as the communists.
It's a mistake to lump all muslims under one banner.
" the reporter who uncovered the photographer said he "hopes" and "trusts" that there will be no reprecussions for the photographer."
Yes, I heard. That's what made me think that Mr. Razmi was still in Iran. Maybe he believes he's been loyal to the regime and he's old and they won't do anything to him now.
Sometimes going public can save your life, due to the publicity you receive. Sometimes it can cause you to have an accident.
No sir- the 'religion of peace' referes to extremists 3who have hijacked an entire religion from those hwo only wish for true peace! NOONE is lumping ALL muslims together sir-
wish people would stopp inccorrectly implying that we're lumping all mulsims togehter when we talk abotu the extremists who have hijacked their religion- ALTHOUGH- the religion DOES advocate murdering infidels in MANY places in the Koran
