Iranian regime\u2019s sham presidential election<\/a> will take place on June 18. It is clear from now that the current head of the judiciary, Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>, a mass murderer and a member of the \u201cdeath commission\u201d of the 1988 massacre<\/a> of 30,000 political prisoners, will be installed as the new president of the regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the aftermath of the election, Iranian expatriates will gather with political supporters from throughout the world to once again emphasize that an alternative to the theocratic dictatorship in Iran already exists in the form of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was followed, for months afterward, by the systematic torture of known and suspected pro-democracy activists, as detailed in an Amnesty International report titled Trampling Humanity. That torture notably reflected the brutal policies adopted by the judiciary under the leadership of Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>, who is now poised to promote similar brutality from an even more influential position as the country\u2019s next president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
