Amnesty accuses Iran’s newly-elected president of ‘crimes against humanity

Amnesty International released a statement saying that Iran’s newly elected leader Ebrahim Raisi is involved in crimes against humanity, including murder, torture and forced disappearances. Ebrahim Raisi is an ultraconservative who was recently declared the winner of the Islamic republic’s presidential elections. However, officials say that he should be investigated for alleged crimes against humanity first. Raisi is set to take over from moderate Hassan Rouhani in August and his loyal supporters argue that the former head of the judiciary is Iran’s best hope for standing up to the West and bringing relief from a deep economic crisis exacerbated by coronavirus disease and the US sanctions. The Amnesty report clarifies that Raisi’s name is associated with the mass executions of Marxists and other leftists in 1988 when he was deputy prosecutor of the Revolutionary Court in Tehran. Amnesty International’s secretary-general Agnès Callamard said in a statement that the 60-year-old Iranian leader should have been investigated for the murder, enforced disappearance and torture instead of being elected as the president of the Islamic republic. Believers of Raisi’s philosophy should be equally held guilty as they supported him in executions of the crimes and stoop down humanity level in the world. Callamard, who has previously served as the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial and arbitrary executions for the UN Human Rights Council, said that Raisi had been a member of the “Death Commission” that forcibly disappeared and extrajudicially executed thousands of political prisoners. It is even more shocking that the circumstances surrounding the fate of the victims and the whereabouts of their bodies are systematically concealed by the Iranian authorities, amounting to ongoing crimes against humanity. Dressed in a black turban and cleric’s coat, Raisi casts himself as an austere and pious figure and a corruption-fighting champion of the poor.

“Iraq is Utilizing What They Have Right Now”

Here’s something good that I want to share with what I read today. It’s about  how Iraq utilizes a decentralized arrangement of administration, the Gulf countries and their organizations can investigate such financial possibilities with different individual Iraqi governorates, directed by the national government. This can likewise make a sound rivalry among Iraqi governorates to offer better costs and more good arrangements with Gulf organizations, as the two sides advantage. For me, Iraq needs huge monetary and monetary support. Monetary guide bundles can just reduce some tension on the present moment. Aside from Iran, there is insignificant territorial interest in Iraq's private area. Tehran's interest in Iraq has not given remarkable monetary advantages, for the most part because of authorizations. Inlet countries ought to investigate Iraq as a feasible competitor for their business ventures, and they can even use Jordan as a middle person to shape a solid financial ternio...
