According to Impacto 24/7 – During his career within the Islamic State after being appointed to the highest position in Justice, he was part of a small committee that ordered the executions of thousands of dissident politicians in 1988.
He was accused of human rights violations for decades and is subject to sanctions by the United States.
During Raisi’s presidency, the government faced many protests against it, following the death of a young Kurdish woman, Mahsa Amini, who was in police custody. The authorities responded with brutal repression, including murders and executions.
