Original Note:
For context, Raisi was deputy prosecutor general of Iran in 1988, when estimated 30 000 political prisoners have been executed by the authorities. Arbitrary executions and human rights violations persist to this day. His death is celebrated by the Iranian people. 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/
