FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Iran in 2021 is on the threshold of fundamental change. The clerics Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, finds his regime increasingly weak and in jeopardy following a series of uprisings since 2017, systemic corruption, a bankrupt economy, and an explosive society. Faced with these realities, Khamenei has opted to close ranks and consolidate power in the hands of those absolutely loyal to him. Ebrahim Raisi, a notorious mass murderer, was handpicked by Khamenei, to take on the position of president of the regime. In the summer of 1988, some 30,000 innocent men, women, and children were hanged in a matter of weeks. The majority of the victims (90%) were members or supporters of the Peoples Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). Raisi was one of four members of the infamous death commission in Tehran. He has continued his role as Irans henchman to this day, including overseeing the killing of 1,500 Iranian protesters in November 2019.This manuscript makes the case for bringing Ebrahim Raisi to justice before an international tribunal for crimes against humanity.His presidency is a litmus test for the international community: Will the West engage and deal with this genocidal regime, or stand with the Iranian people as they struggle to overthrow the theocracy, attain freedom and establish a democratic, secular and non-nuclear republic in Iran. Review In the summer of 1988, a committee of four senior Iranian officials that became known as the "death committee" acted to carry out the terms of a fatwa issued by then-Supreme Leader the Ayatollah Khomeini to kill tens of thousands of Iranian prisoners, most of them members of MEK. Now, for the first time - in Iran: Call for Justice - Ebrahim Raisi, Irans new president, has been pulled out of the shadows and had the spotlight shined directly on him as one member of this committee. This slim volume tells the world much of what it needs to know about Raisis criminal deeds and bloody rise to power. This important volume deserves to be read and acted upon. -- Hon. Michael B. Mukasey81st Attorney General of the United States ------------The selection by the Supreme Leader of Raisi as president is the ultimate rejection of the values of the world community, and certainly of the United States. ... now really is the time to look forward and to act... i.e., hold Raisi and the regime accountable. We should begin to investigate him for crimes against humanity. We should see him removed from the presidency and, most significantly of all, see this government removed from power in Tehran, so that the gifted people of Iran can again choose their own leaders and enjoy political and economic freedom and opportunity. -- Hon. Joe Lieberman Former U.S. Democratic Senator from Connecticut ------------ The situation in Iran today illustrates the consequences of impunity for crimes against humanity that have never been properly investigated or acknowledged... Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was the President in 1988 and fully supported the prison massacres. Evin prison, scene of mass murder in 1988, remains a brutal environment for blindfolded prisoners picked up for no more serious offence than attending student demonstrations or contacting NGOs concerned about human rights. What could happen to Raisi now he is President? He can be referred to an ad hoc tribunal for a trial in absentia set up by the Security Council or by the Human Rights Committee of the United Nations.-- Geoffrey Robertson, QCDistinguished Human Rights Barrister Details ISBN1944942440 Short Title IRAN: Call for Justice Language English Year 2021 ISBN-10 1944942440 ISBN-13 9781944942441 Format Paperback Subtitle The Case to Hold Ebrahim Raisi to Account for Crimes Against Humanity Edited by Iran, National Council of Resistance of Imprint National Council of Resistance of Iran-Us Office Illustrations 40 Illustrations Author National Council of Resistance of Iran Edition 2nd Pages 108 Publication Date 2021-09-21 UK Release Date 2021-09-21 Publisher National Council of Resistance of Iran-Us Office Edition Description 2nd ed.
