Human Rights Watch and others accuse him of a prominent role in ordering the 1988 execution of thousands of political prisoners. What is your reaction to his ascension to the presidency?<br \/>\n<strong>Maryam Rjavi<\/strong>: Ebrahim Raisi, who is berated by the Iranian people as the \u201cHenchman of 1988\u201d for his role in the massacre of political prisoners, is Khamenei\u2019s last-ditch attempt to preserve clerical rule. No other outcome could more accurately display the regime\u2019s sheer political desperation and impending overthrow. The religious dictatorship has emerged weaker and more fragile out of its presidential elections. Raisi\u2019s emergence shows that as the regime\u2019s death throes begin, Khamenei cannot trust even some of his closest apparatchiks and instead needs to put someone in place who has been completely and unconditionally immersed in the brutal massacre of dissidents. So, ultimately, Khamenei had no other option but to swallow both the scorn associated with installing such a murderer as president as well as the disgrace resulting from the nationwide boycott of the sham election. For his part, Raisi must face justice in an international tribunal for committing crimes against humanity, particularly the 1988 massacre.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/the-iran-of-tomorrow\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi: \u201cIranian society is a powder keg on the verge of explosion&#8230; More ferocious and extensive uprisings are waiting to erupt at a moment\u2019s notice&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> is on the brink of a seismic change.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Maryam_Rajavi?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Maryam_Rajavi<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FreeIran2021?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FreeIran2021<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IvXS0ApidM\">https:\/\/t.co\/IvXS0ApidM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-U.S. Rep Office (@NCRIUS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NCRIUS\/status\/1412873059611119618?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 7, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran: At Least 324,500 People Have Lost Their Lives to COVID-19<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-242681\" title=\"Infographic-PMOI-MEK-reports-over-324500-coronavirus-COVID-19-deaths-in-Iran\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Infographic-PMOI-MEK-reports-over-324500-coronavirus-COVID-19-deaths-in-Iran.jpg\" alt=\"Infographic-PMOI-MEK-reports-over-324500-coronavirus-COVID-19-deaths-in-Iran\" width=\"1100\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Infographic-PMOI-MEK-reports-over-324500-coronavirus-COVID-19-deaths-in-Iran.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Infographic-PMOI-MEK-reports-over-324500-coronavirus-COVID-19-deaths-in-Iran-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Infographic-PMOI-MEK-reports-over-324500-coronavirus-COVID-19-deaths-in-Iran-1024x585.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Infographic-PMOI-MEK-reports-over-324500-coronavirus-COVID-19-deaths-in-Iran-768x438.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Infographic-PMOI-MEK-reports-over-324500-coronavirus-COVID-19-deaths-in-Iran-150x86.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Infographic-PMOI-MEK-reports-over-324500-coronavirus-COVID-19-deaths-in-Iran-696x397.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Infographic-PMOI-MEK-reports-over-324500-coronavirus-COVID-19-deaths-in-Iran-1068x610.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/about-iranian-opposition-pmoi-mek\" rel=\"noopener\">The People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran<\/a> (PMOI\/MEK) announced on Wednesday, July 7, 2021, that the Coronavirus death toll in 547 cities had exceeded 324,500.
