On the first anniversary of the selection of Ebrahim Raisi<\/a> as Iran\u2019s regime president, Ali Khamenei, the regime\u2019s supreme leader, has failed to consolidate power and crush dissent. On the contrary, the selection had “backfired,” leading to increased unrest and expanded awareness about the regime’s history of human rights abuses and crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n

In the summer of 1988, Raisi served as one of the four officials on a “death commission<\/a>” in Tehran, which was tasked with interrogating political detainees at Evin and Gohardahst Prisons, then ordering the execution of any who were deemed to maintain sympathy with the leading pro-democracy opposition group, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK<\/a>). Nationwide, the resulting massacre of political prisoners claimed over 30,000 victims, mostly members and supporters of the MEK<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Khamenei’s selection of Raisi as president was the threat he felt from the MEK and its nationwide network of “Resistance Units” and their role in the uprisings and protests.<\/p>\n
