The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), and the People’s Mujahedin of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran), reported that Ebrahim Raisi, chief mullahs regime henchman register for the Iranian Presidency.
Raisi stepped into Iran’s sham election
On Saturday, May 15, 2021, Ebrahim Raisi, stepped into Iran’s political scene after the 1979 revolution against the monarchy as a pro-Khomeini mullah who would carry out his mentor’s every command. Raisi was born in 1960. He started training as a cleric in Qom’s seminary at 15 years old and entered the mullahs regime’s judiciary from early on, as an assistant prosecutor in the Karaj when he was 19 years old. He became the prosecutor of the revolutionary court of Karaj when he was just 20 to rise to the head of the Judiciary in 2019.
Mullahs regime henchman
As Deputy Prosecutor of Tehran, he was one of the four individuals who Khomeini appointed to carry out his infamous fatwa in 1988 to massacre imprisoned activists of the People’s Mujahedin of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran).
During that 1988 massacre, 30,000 political prisoners, primarily affiliated with the MEK, were summarily executed within a few months. An audiotape surfaced in summer 2016, after 28 years.
Hossein-Ali Montazeri audiotape
Hossein-Ali Montazeri, Khomeini’s designated successor at the time, speaking with the “death committee” in Tehran, including with Raisi, about 20 days after the start of the killing spree. Montazeri warned them that these executions would be considered the biggest crimes committed by the Islamic Republic.
In that meeting, Hossein-Ali Montazeri questioned them about the execution of pregnant women and 15-year-old girls. It was subsequently exposed that Ebrahim Raisi was the most active and most ruthless member of the committee.
After the public outcry over the 1988 massacre, Ebrahim Raisi boasted on state TV, on June 2, 2020, “Well, these Mujahedin should not be given a chance… These are the people to whom the Khomeini said we shouldn’t have shown any mercy, and Khomeini knew them well.”
Ruthless member of the “death committee”
Ebrahim Raisi, who is Deputy Head of the “Assembly of Experts”, was promoted to the position of Tehran Prosecutor in 1989 subsequent to Ali Khamenei assuming the role of the supreme leader. He held this position for five years.
Raisi was the Head of the Office of the Inspector General for a decade from 1994 to 2004 and the Deputy Head of the Judiciary for a decade from 2004 to 2014. The Deputy Head of Judiciary since 2012, Ali Khamenei appointed him as the Prosecutor General of the Special Court for the Clergy in 2014, a position he held until 2015.
December 2009 uprising
Following the December 2009 uprising, Raisi is recorded to have said: “Moharebeh (waging war against God) is sometimes by membership in an organization, like the Monafeqin (MEK).
In the case of the organization of the Monafeqin, anyone who helps the organization of the Monafeqin in any way under any circumstances, because it is an organized movement, the title of Moharebeh applies”. According to the Islamic Punishment Act, the punishment for Moharebeh is death.
Head of the Astan-e Quds Razavi foundation
Following the death of a senior mullah, Abbas Vaez-Tabasi, Ali Khamenei appointed Ebrahim Raisi in 2016 as the Head of the Astan-e Quds Razavi foundation, in Mashhad, one of the most important political and financial regime endowments controlling massive assets, land, buildings, and capital.
The Judiciary Chief of the mullahs’ regime
Ali Khamenei appointed Ebrahim Raisi the Judiciary Chief in March 2019. Since then, he has directed the execution of 251 people in 2019, and 267 people in 2020, and scores of executions in 2021. Amnesty International reported that “The death penalty was increasingly used as a weapon of political repression against dissident protesters and members of ethnic minority groups,” during Raisi’s term. One particular case that drew international outcry was the brutal execution of Iranian sportsman and wrestler Navid Afkari.
