The Islamic Republic of Iran will elect a new president in an election on June 28 after the death of Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash.
A helicopter carrying Raisi and his accompanying team crashed in northwestern mountainous forests on May 19.
While the leaders of some countries published messages of sympathy, a wave of joy and happiness swept over all the cities and towns of Iran.
The former president was one of the members of the "death panel" that signed the death sentence of nearly seven thousand political prisoners in the summer of 1988.
At the age of 20, Ebrahim Raisi was simultaneously appointed as the prosecutor of Karaj and Hamedan cities and by commuting between these two cities, he signed the death sentence of dozens of opponents of the Islamic Republic in the very first days of his work.
He was immediately promoted as the deputy of the capital's prosecutor's office, to suppress and eliminate the protesting people.
In the summer of 1988, following the order of Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic Republic at the time, regarding the massacre of political prisoners, he became a member of the death panel and signed the death warrant for nearly seven thousand political prisoners. After this good service, he was appointed to the Attorney General of Tehran.
Since then, Ebrahim Raisi has been directly involved in the execution of hundreds of Iranian citizens who were arrested only for opposing the Islamic Republic of Iran. The nationwide uprising of 2022, known as the uprising of the Woman Azadi Life, took place during his presidency. The president, whose brutality was evident in suppressing the citizens, during this uprising, ordered to shoot directly at the protesting citizens and kill them.
