Original Note:
For context, Raisi was deputy prosecutor general and Khameini was president of Iran in 1988, when estimated 30 000 political prisoners have been executed by the Iranian authorities. Arbitrary executions and human rights violations persist in Iran to this day. https://iranprimer.usip.org/blog/2021/jul/21/raisi-role-1988-massacre https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde13/9421/2018/en/ https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/middle-east-and-north-africa/middle-east/iran/report-iran https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/04/iran-executes-853-people-in-eight-year-high-amid-relentless-repression-and-renewed-war-on-drugs/ https://www.iranintl.com/en/202403283837 https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/3/5/iran-executed-834-people-last-year-highest-since-2015-rights-groups https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2024/country-chapters/iran https://www.maryam-rajavi.com/en/call-for-justice-movement-justice-victims-1988-massacre-from-the-outset/
