At 9 a.m. on Monday, May 20, 2024, news agencies affiliated with the IRGC announced the discovery of the wreckage of the helicopter carrying the President of Iran and the accompanying delegation, as well as the end of the search operation. These news agencies announced that all the passengers of this helicopter were dead during the crash.
In this regard, the head of the Red Crescent Society of the Islamic Republic of Iran said in a press conference, "In this plane crash, Mr. Raisi, the president and his companions, including Mr. Amir Abdollahian, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ayatollah Al Hashem, Imam Juma of Tabriz, and Rahmati, the Governor of East Azerbaijan" were killed.
Some experts familiar with Iran and the Middle East identify Israel as the main cause of the sabotage of the helicopter carrying Ebrahim Raisi and his accompanying delegation, and consider it Israel's revenge against Iran for firing missiles at the country.
However, while the leaders of some countries in the world published messages of sympathy since the first hours of the news of the helicopter crash, a wave of joy and happiness swept over all the cities and villages of Iran.
The former president of Iran 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 and 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.
During the Jinnah uprising and by the order of Ali Khamenei and Ebrahim Raisi, more than 1,500 protesting citizens were killed, more than 20,000 people were injured and more than 60,000 people were arrested.
For this reason and unlike some world leaders who have published messages of sympathy for the Islamic Republic of Iran, people all over Iran celebrated and spread sweets in the streets after hearing the news of the helicopter carrying Ebrahim Raisi. They also completed their joy on the morning of Sunday, May 20, by publishing the news of the death of the butcher of Iran, and by publishing several videos on social networks, they expressed their happiness about the end of a criminal's life.
