Ali Khamenei appointed the Massacre Ayatollah, Raisi<\/a> as the head of the country\u2019s judiciary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nthe Iranian judicial system, Raisi, the Ayatollah of massacre has a long record\nof crimes. Raisi, the Ayatollah of massacre, first became the prosecutor of\nKaraj city at the age of 20 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon, Ebrahim Raisi was promoted to Deputy Attorney General and then to Attorney General, the fact that shows that the touchstone for competence in the regime of Velayat-e-Faqih is repression and suppression for its preservation.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the 2017 presidential elections, Raisi was the favorite candidate of Khamenei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raisi, the Ayatollah of massacre partaking in the presidential election triggered the wrath of the Iranian people because they were aware of the key role of Raisi as the youngest member of the \u201cDeath committee\u201d in the carnage of 30.000 political prisoners in 1988<\/a>. That was the greatest mass murder after the Second World War and the majority of victims were members and supporters of the PMOI\/MEK<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\npeople of Iran have not forgotten that crime against humanity whose\nperpetrators have not been held accountable yet. Most of the victims of that\nmassacre were buried in mass graves and their whereabouts have been unknown to\ntheir families until now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nIranian people, the Iranian resistance and the international human rights\norganizations have called for an independent inquest into the massacre of\npolitical prisoners in 1988.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assigning\nRaisi, the Ayatollah of massacre, as the head of the judiciary, well shows that\nthe regime is under pressure, both domestically and internationally. The\nIranian regime is clearly trying to get a handle on the widespread domestic\ndiscontent that shows no sign of easing up.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appointing\nRaisi, the Ayatollah of massacre by Khamenei, proves once again that as the\nhead of the crisis-stricken theocratic regime, he finds no other solution than\na hard turn towards further repression in order to contain the crisis that its\nregime faces due to uprisings and protests in the coming new Iranian year\n(starting March 21, 2019). Khamenei thus wants to fortify his clerical regime\nagainst the uprising of the Iranian people, and their organized resistance, for\njustice and freedom in Iran.\n\nMoreover, appointing Raisi, the Ayatollah of\nmassacre as the head of the country\u2019s judiciary and as the deputy secretary of\nAssembly of Experts, is another proof for the standpoint of the Iranian \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
