Yet, on September 20, the world community would allow a man involved in his execution, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/who-is-ebrahim-raisi-ncr-iran\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>, to address the United Nations, General Assembly.<br \/>\nNavid Afkari was arrested during the major Iran <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-protests\/anniversary-of-2018-iran-protests-and-international-communitys-obligations\/\">protests in 2018<\/a> in Kazeroun along with his two brothers. Navid was falsely accused of killing a security guard based on a confession extracted under the month of torture. Navid had denied having killed the security guard and appealed to the Judiciary.<br \/>\nYet, Ebrahim Raisi, then-Judiciary Chief, declined the appeal. Navid was executed without receiving the due processes and despite international outcries against his execution.<br \/>\nNow a year after Navid\u2019s execution, all evidence suggests that his two brothers would have a harsh time.<br \/>\nAccording to his lawyer, the regime\u2019s Supreme court rejected a retrial requested by political prisoner Vahid Afkari. The lawyer of the Afkari brothers, Saeid Dehghan, wrote on Twitter that despite the contradictions in the case, the 38th branch of the Supreme Court rejected their requested retrial.<br \/>\n\u201cEven if they had just skimmed through the case document, there were enough legal reasons to accept a retrial as the verdict contains 24 contradictions and three lies,\u201d Dehghan tweeted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mistreating political prisoners, killing them secretly, and violating international norms, has been the regime\u2019s modus-operandi. Raisi, now the regime\u2019s president, has been known for fully implementing the regime\u2019s doctrine in dealing with prisoners of conscience.<br \/>\nHe started his career in the regime as a prosecutor in the 1980s and issued many death sentences. His level of criminality reached its height in the summer of 1988 when he participated in the massacre of political prisoners as a member of the so-called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/iran-1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners\/iran-1988-massacre-death-commissions\/\">\u201cdeath commission\u201d<\/a> in Tehran.<br \/>\nRaisi\u2019s dark human rights record helped him become the Supreme Leader\u2019s favorite candidate for the presidency.<br \/>\nWhen Raisi was selected as the regime\u2019s new president on June 19, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/human-rights\/amnesty-un-must-speak-openly-and-firmly-against-impunity-over-iran-s-1988-massacre\/\">Amnesty<\/a> International\u2019s Secretary General Agn\u00e8s Callamard said: \u201cThat Ebrahim Raisi has risen to the presidency instead of being investigated for the crimes against humanity of murder, enforced disappearance and torture, is a grim reminder that impunity reigns supreme in Iran.\u201d<br \/>\nThe supremacy of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-resistance\/testimonials-about-irans-1988-massacre-highlight-destructive-effects-of-impunity\/\">impunity<\/a>\u201d in Iran has devastating effects on the general human rights situation. In a letter published in December, seven UN human rights experts, including Ms. Callamard, underlined that this impunity resulted from the world community\u2019s inaction in the face of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners-in-iran\/\">1988 massacre<\/a>. They underlined that the failure of international bodies to act had a \u201cdevastating impact\u201d on Iran\u2019s general human rights situation.<br \/>\nIn recent years, the killing of Iranian protesters in November 2019, the subsequent mistreatment of the detained protesters, and the execution of Navid and other political prisoners are examples of the devastating impact of the world community\u2019s inaction and the crisis of impunity in Iran.<br \/>\nIf the world community had put pressure on the clerical regime, criminals like Raisi could have never assumed high positions, and perhaps many families like Afkari\u2019s were not torn apart.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-how-the-regime-discredits-its-opposition-the-mek\"><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><br \/>\nWith the growing calls for holding Raisi to account for human rights violations, the world community should once and for all end the crisis of impunity in Iran. This could happen by exercising universal jurisdiction and prosecute Raisi and other officials involved in human rights violations. The world community should take the first step by launching an independent investigation into human rights violations in Iran, mainly the 1988 massacre.<br \/>\nAs Agnes Callamard underlined: \u201cIt is now more urgent than ever for member states of the UN Human Rights Council to take concrete steps to address the crisis of systematic impunity in Iran including by establishing an impartial mechanism to collect and analyse evidence of the most serious crimes under international law committed in Iran to facilitate fair and independent criminal proceedings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 12 marks the first anniversary of the execution of Iran&rsquo;s wrestling champion Navid Afkari.
