Khamenei by \u201cengineering\u201d the election was planning to counter the social uprisings and control the tensions within the regime. For this reason, he selected mullah Ebrahim Raisi, as his candidate for Presidential election.<\/p>\n Iranian regime massacred over 30,000 political prisoners in summer of 1988 and kept a lid on this atrocity for three decades. In this year\u2019s presidential election when\u00a0Ebrahim Raisi, one of the perpetrators of the massacre, was selected as a main candidate, the news of the 1988 massacre surfaced and the youth were demanding accountability.<\/p>\n Pictures of Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, were raised in various parts of Tehran, and other cities across the country, slogans were written on the walls in support of the Mojahedin (MEK\/PMOI)\u00a0 and Maryam Rajavi.<\/a><\/p>\n
