\"iran-raisi-president-massacre-1988\"<\/p>\n

Several\u00a0Western policymakers, human rights advocates, and experts on Iranian affairs have reacted with suitable alarm to last month\u2019s confirmation that Ebrahim\u00a0Raisi<\/a>\u00a0would be the next president of the Iranian regime. Many of them reaffirmed that sentiment alongside a wide range of Iranian expatriates and pro-democracy activists at this weekend\u2019s Free Iran World Summit.<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The event highlighted both the socio-political developments underlying\u00a0Raisi\u2019s\u00a0\u201celection<\/a>\u201d and the likely consequences of him taking over the presidency in August. Many of the participants reiterated calls for a change of Western policy, both with respect to the Iranian regime as a whole and with respect to Ebrahim Raisi in particular. Both before and after Raisi was confirmed as president-select on June 18, those appeals frequently emphasized the need for sanctions, diplomatic isolation, and international investigations to hold the regime\u2019s new second-in-command accountable for past crimes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as the international community is concerned, this is a test of whether it will engage and deal with this genocidal regime or whether it will stand with the Iranian people.\u201d Maryam\u00a0Rajavi, the President-elect of the Iranian resistance, said, adding, \u201cWe say to the world community, especially to Western governments, that Mullah\u00a0Raisi\u00a0is a criminal guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity in 1988.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1988,\u00a0Raisi\u00a0served as one of the key figures in the \u201cdeath commissions\u201d that oversaw a massacre of over 30,000 political prisoners<\/a>. Beginning in 2019, as head of the judiciary, he oversaw perhaps the worst crackdown on dissent in recent years. Prior to taking on that role,\u00a0Raisi\u00a0served as head of the so-called religious foundation,\u00a0Astan-e Quds\u00a0Razavi, which has a long history of financing terrorism and fomenting Islamic extremism throughout the world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In view of this background, Amnesty International reacted to\u00a0Raisi\u2019s\u00a0election by issuing a statement the very next day which called it a \u201cgrim reminder that impunity reigns in Iran,\u201d and suggested that instead of being elevated to the presidency, he should have been \u201cinvestigated for the crimes against humanity of murder, enforced disappearance, and torture.\u201d The statement was backed up by the human rights advocacy group\u2019s own 2020 report into the regime\u2019s response to a nationwide uprising in November 2019, which included the torture of thousands of arrestees over a period of months.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This systematic torture emerged in the wake of 1,500 peaceful protesters being fatally shot, most of them by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. It seems reasonable to conclude that\u00a0Raisi\u00a0and other leading officials felt empowered to continue violent reprisals past that point after it became clear that the international community had no intention of intervening in any meaningful way. This conclusion was reinforced by the lack of action by Western powers and the international community\u00a0with regard to\u00a0the 1988 massacre.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year, seven United Nations human rights experts published a letter in which they acknowledged that the General Assembly had been made aware of those killings while they were ongoing but did not follow up on the case or refer it to the Security Council or the Human Rights Council. \u201cThe failure of these bodies to act had a devastating impact on the survivors and\u00a0families as well as on the general situation of human rights in Iran,\u201d they said, adding that it also emboldened the regime to continue covering up aspects of its human rights record.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Raisi\u2019s\u00a0promotion first to judiciary chief and then to president underscores the fact that the regime has\u00a0actually gone\u00a0well past mere deflection and denial with respect to its past abuses and crimes against humanity. Iranian officials have openly defended and justified their own roles and their colleagues\u2019 roles in incidents like the 1988 massacre, with\u00a0Raisi\u00a0himself saying that the fatwa behind it was unquestionable and that Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Iranian regime, was\u00a0absolutely correct\u00a0to insist upon \u201cno mercy\u201d in dealing with organized opposition the People\u2019s\u00a0Mojahedin\u00a0Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK)<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since long before\u00a0Raisi\u2019s\u00a0promotion was confirmed, the NCRI predicted that it would be a sign of the regime\u2019s desperate obsession with restoring order in the wake of the November 2019 uprising and other such expressions of anti-government sentiment.\u00a0Raisi\u2019s\u00a0background made him a prime candidate to oversee a general escalation in the repression of dissent, targeting both domestic protests and the global support network created by the NCRI coalition. But that coalition\u2019s Foreign Affairs Committee chairman, Mohammad\u00a0Mohaddessin, said in a May press conference that the regime might find itself confronting even greater opposition from a population that knows well what to expect.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mohaddessin\u00a0said that the clearest early evidence of looming popular unrest would come in the form of an effective boycott of the electoral process that was manipulated in advance to secure\u00a0Raisi\u2019s\u00a0decisive victory. Footage of empty polling places throughout the country on June 18 supports the NCRI\u2019s conclusion that less than one in ten Iranian voters took part in that process.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the one hand, this is sure to give regime authorities a renewed sense of urgency regarding their plans to crackdown on dissent. But on the other hand, it demonstrates that the Iranian people have not been beaten into submission even after hundreds of recent deaths and thousands of instances of torture and false imprisonment. This, in turn, speaks to the remarkable impact that Western powers and the international community could have on Iran\u2019s immediate future.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first things the international community can do is launch a formal investigation into the 1988 massacre of political prisoners and to focus that investigation on figures who remain active in the Iranian regime and might yet be brought up on charges at the International Criminal Court for murdering 30,000 political activists and terrorizing an entire population in the aftermath.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
