While there is no warrant out for his arrest, the reasoning behind his sanction means he is legally eligible for arrest in every country in the world. This was highlighted last month in a virtual conference, hosted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/national-council-of-resistance-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCRI<\/a>, to discuss the 1988 massacre in Iran. In attendance were many human rights and international law experts, along with 1,000 survivors of the massacre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">summer of 1988<\/a>, Raisi was part of a \u2018death commission\u2019, which was tasked with executing 30,000 political prisoners, many of whom were supporters of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/peoples-mojahedin-pmoi-mek-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PMOI\/MEK<\/a>), under the orders of then-Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Raisi, Butcher of 1988 Massacre in Iran\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_gyE0HgavYY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The NCRI said, \u201cThe conference focused on the role that Raisi played in those killings. For the families of victims, for other Iranian regime officials, and for the Resistance Movement working to overturn the system that has supported the massacre\u2019s perpetrators for more than three decades, Raisi\u2019s prosecution would be a powerful sign that the regime\u2019s impunity in such matters is finally at an end.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Iranian people have stood up against the regime in recent years and have organized many protests. Beginning at the end of 2017, protests escalated into a nationwide uprising that reached over 100 cities and towns in Iran by the middle of January the following year. The <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2020\/11\/16\/what-were-the-november-2019-iran-protests\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">uprising in 2019<\/a> was on a much larger scale, spreading across nearly 200 cities and towns. In each demonstration, the protesters echoed similar anti-regime slogans, calling for regime change and \u2018death to the dictator\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NCRI said, \u201cThe Iranian regime brutally suppressed these protests and Raisi played a key role in this oppression as he was in charge of the regime\u2019s judiciary at the time of the mass shootings, indiscriminate arrests, and systematic torture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An open letter was addressed to the regime last year, written by <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2020\/12\/13\/iran-un-experts-1988-massacre-crime-against-humanity-human-rights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">seven United Nations human rights experts<\/a>, which noted that the UN originally had an opportunity to demand accountability for the massacre at the end of 1988, just months after the atrocities had taken place. However, despite the knowledge of the massacre, no follow up investigations were ever conducted any UN body. The UN\u2019s inaction at the time allowed the regime to enjoy a sense of impunity, and further inaction over the years has only supported that impunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NCRI said, \u201cRaisi\u2019s presence at the UN General Assembly will be the greatest affirmation of that impunity to date. In allowing him to speak, the international community will be turning a blind eye to three decades of accumulated knowledge about the massacre and Raisi\u2019s role in it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Ebrahim Raisi should not be allowed to attend the UN General Assembly.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bH5nEAU-ea8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) reported recently that as Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi is due to address the United Nations General Assembly on September 20, calls have continued to mount for his prosecution for his crimes against humanity and for the international community to ban him from conducting state visits.
