The presence of an EU official at the inauguration was promptly criticized by Western policymakers, international human rights groups, and Iranian activists who are keenly aware of Raisi\u2019s history of human rights abuses, spanning from the 1980s all the way through his recent two years as Iran\u2019s judiciary chief.<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AmnestyEU\/status\/1422876059901603844\" rel=\"noopener\">Amnesty International<\/a> pointed to Mora\u2019s attendance in order to question whether the international community was prepared to demonstrate \u201ccommitment to fight against systematic impunity in Iran for extrajudicial executions and other unlawful killings, enforced disappearances, and torture.\u201d On June 19, a day after the sham election that brought Raisi to power, Amnesty lamented that he had been elevated to Iran\u2019s second highest political office instead of being investigated and put on trial for his role in those same crimes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The int\u2019l community, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EU?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#EU<\/a>, which is sending <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/enriquemora_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@enriquemora_<\/a> to Raisi\u2019s inauguration, must publicly demonstrate its commitment to fight against systematic impunity in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> for extrajudicial executions &amp; other unlawful killings, enforced disappearances &amp; torture.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Amnesty EU (@AmnestyEU) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AmnestyEU\/status\/1422876059901603844?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 4, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In 1988, near the end of the Iran-Iraq War, Raisi was serving as deputy public prosecutor in Tehran. When the opportunity presented itself, he willingly stepped into the role of the mass executioner by contributing to the operation of a \u201c<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/iran-1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners\/iran-1988-massacre-death-commissions\/\" rel=\"noopener\">death commission<\/a>\u201d that was empaneled to implement a recent <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/iran-1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners\/iran-1988-massacre\/\" rel=\"noopener\">fatwa<\/a> from the regime\u2019s Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini. The fatwa declared all members of the opposition group the<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/pmoi-mek\/\" rel=\"noopener\"> People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran<\/a> (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/primer-the-history-the-peoples-mojahedin-organization-iran\" rel=\"noopener\">PMOI\/MEK<\/a>) to be guilty of \u201cenmity against God,\u201d and directed that anyone who still harbored sympathies for MEK should be executed with haste.<br \/>\nThe Tehran death commission, together with similar panels scattered across the country, could cite anything as justification for concluding that political prisoners were \u201cholding onto their beliefs\u201d and should be executed. In at least one documented case, a death commission member compelled a prisoner to declare that he would fight against Iraq but then went on to insist that he also agree to walk over minefields in service of the theocratic regime. When the prisoner merely questioned that order, the judge passed a capital sentence immediately.<br \/>\nSurvivors of the massacre report Raisi imposing capital sentences casually, mechanically, and acting as if the commission was pressed for time and inconvenienced by any defendant\u2019s effort to save their own life. Accordingly, many of the \u201ctrials\u201d conducted by that panel lasted only two minutes before it was determined that the prisoner was insufficiently loyal to the ruling system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is estimated that across Iran, over 30,000 Iranians were executed by the death panels. Some key details of the killings were revealed to the Iranian people and the international community in 2016 with the online release of an audio recording made at the time of the massacre by Hossein Ali Montazeri, Khomeini&#8217;s former heir, to object to the death commissions\u2019 actions. But other details remain to be revealed, and many never be revealed in light of the fact that Tehran has repeatedly made efforts to destroy and build upon the sites of secret mass graves where many victims were interred.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\nAmnesty International and other human rights organizations have warned that as time goes by, the prospects for a thorough investigation into the massacre diminish. Such statements underscore the fact that the international community failed to address the crime against humanity while it was still going on, and has compounded that failure over the years by ignoring new calls to action and legitimizing some of the main perpetrators of the killings. Never has that latter phenomenon been more obvious than with the attendance of an EU official at Raisi\u2019s ignominious swearing-in ceremony.<br \/>\nIn a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/panel-of-legal-experts-urges-accountability-for-irans-newly-inauguration-president\/\" rel=\"noopener\">panel discussion<\/a> hosted by the National Council of Resistance of Iran on Thursday, British barrister and human rights expert Geoffrey Robertson observed that by sending a delegation to Tehran, the EU demonstrated that its actual human rights policies still fall far short of its \u201chuman rights aspirations.\u201d In October 2020, the body introduced its new \u201cGlobal Human Rights Sanctions Regime\u201d and foreign policy chief Josep Borrell spoke publicly about the need for stronger action in this area than mere legislative resolutions from member states. Since then, however, he has failed to apply this sentiment to the EU\u2019s dealings with the Islamic Republic, even as the latter has continued its long pattern of rewarding officials for their past involvement in violations of human rights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Virtual Briefing: Challenges Posed by Ebrahim Raisi, a Recognized Mass Murderer <br \/>New book released: &quot;IRAN: Call for Justice; The Case to Hold Ebrahim Raisi to Account for Crimes Against Humanity&quot;  <br \/>AUG 5 \u2013 11 AM EDT 5:00 PM CEST<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ProsecuteRaisiNOW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ProsecuteRaisiNOW<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/REzFFAkiBU\">https:\/\/t.co\/REzFFAkiBU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1423297337418420225?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 5, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Yet many lawmakers and foreign policy experts have urged Borrell and all EU member states, as well as the United States and the United Kingdom, to intensify their pressure on Iran over its human rights record in the wake of Raisi\u2019s appointment as president. Referring to the sanctions tools that are now available to more than 30 nations, Robertson said that there is \u201cno individual whose name should be higher on every country\u2019s Magnitsky list than Raisi.<br \/>\nThe host of Thursday\u2019s panel discussion, the National Council of Resistance of Iran, has variously warned that unless Raisi is placed under serious pressure by the international community, his administration is sure to oversee a new escalation of Iran\u2019s crackdown on dissent. In the weeks leading up to his inauguration, Iranian authorities killed at least a dozen peaceful protesters, and likely many more. But this pales in comparison to more shocking incidents from recent years, as well as from the early days of the Islamic Republic.<br \/>\nIn <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/iran-protests-2019-update\/\" rel=\"noopener\">November 2019,<\/a> when Raisi was serving as judiciary chief, roughly 1,500 people were killed within days of that month\u2019s nationwide uprising beginning. At least 12,000 people were arrested and systematically tortured for months afterward, raising serious concerns about a repeat of the 1988 massacre. Although nothing has yet approached such a dramatic death toll, the international community\u2019s silence on the historic massacre and subsequent crackdowns can only have the effect of making it more likely that Raisi and Tehran will test their impunity via worse crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/2077cfe36d0d\/mvalhuta4du\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/2077cfe36d0d\/mvalhuta4du\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-219239 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" width=\"250\" height=\"83\" \/><\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/2077cfe36d0d\/mvalhuta4du\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/2077cfe36d0d\/mvalhuta4du\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Iranian regime inaugurated its new president on Thursday, in a ceremony that was attended by a few international figures including the Deputy Political Director of the European External Action [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":244409,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45,284,511],"tags":[129,197,241,507],"class_list":{"0":"post-244399","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"category-iran-1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners","9":"category-ebrahim-raisi","10":"tag-iran","11":"tag-mek-iran","12":"tag-iran-massacre-1988","13":"tag-ebrahim-raisi"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
