Ebrahim Raisi, the president of Iran, passed away on May 20 after a time away from the end of his first term in office. When the plane carrying them went down near the Azerbaijani border, Raisi, his foreign secretary Hussein Amirabdollahian, and six different people, including two aircraft, lost their lives.
Raisi “died as a saint serving his country”, said Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Images and videos were displayed in express media outlets to highlight Raisi’s notoriety during his eulogy. Millions of people rushed to It to watch the ceremony honoring the late leader, according to the mind of Iran’s state journalist.
Required anguish in Iran
They are forced to seek legitimacy in crowds amidst coffins in countries where there are n’t real elections and free elections, writes exiled Iranian journalist Mohammad Javed Akbarin in an online post. The right to free council, according to Akbarin, is not guaranteed to all Iran’s people.
However, after Raisi’s death was confirmed, Iran’s court warned that “any acts of opposition which harm national security and damage the emotions of grievers may be punished”.
This is not a passive risk, as Manizheh Moazen’s case demonstrates. After Raisi’s dying, she reposted a post emphasizing the government’s role in the mass killings of political detainees in the 1980s.
The court has opened a case against me because of my response to the demise of Ebrahim Riasi, she wrote on X, previously Twitter.
A job built on heart
Iranian advocate and author Shadi Amin told DW that” Raisi always regretted his activities.” The advocate, now based in Germany, focuses on helping individuals from Iran’s LGBTQ+ area and various minority groups.
” For over 40 times, Raisi has always been playing an important part in implementing the plans of the Islamic Republic, mainly in suppressing the human population”, she added.
Raisi was 63 years old when he died. He instantly jumped into the judiciary as a young cleric after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and rapidly transitioned to the so-called death commission, which was responsible for the murder of thousands of political prisoners. He began his career early. He therefore continued his professional life as a prosecutor, becoming president in 2021 and chief justice in 2019.
In an exam following the 2021 vote, Raisi defended his record in Iran’s courts.
” If a judge, a attorney or a solicitor defend the person’s stability, they should be praised for it”, he told investigators, commenting on the large deaths in the 1980s.
EU apologies for a “big sadness.”
As senator, Raisi was instrumental in halting the protests against the Iranian regime that continued to grow in popularity throughout the nation, most just after Jina Mahsa Amini’s passing in September 2022.
According to Shadi Amin,” He called for the application of misogynic legislation, including the requirement for women to wear headscarf.”
Shadi Amin points out at the same time that Iran’s spiritual officials have the final say on almost any issue.
There have been enough people who have been brought into this system in recent years, like Raisi, and who are prepared to use harsh and terrible methods against the civilian population,” Amin said. The only thing I regret is the sympathies offered by international institutions and the European Union for a large death like his. Egyptian women and its people are greatly let down by this.
