Fresh Candidacy In Iran Has Bloody Past Of Human Right Violations

 Iran is again making headlines over human rights violation as political prisoners who have been released spilled the beans over torture in jail at the hands of a frontrunner politician. Presidential candidate Ebrahim Raisi, also the current head of the judiciary has been known to give orders for mass execution of political prisoners in Iran.

 

Also comes to light the fact that he has been instrumental and stands accused of having been central to such a massacre that happened in 1988. He is also known to be a member of a so-called “Death Commission” in Evin and Gohardasht prisons.

 

Raisi is a frontrunner in forthcoming Iranian elections, something that the United Nations, the United States and European Union are vehemently against.  The whole election is being ridiculed and being terms as a sham.

 

At the age of 21, Raisi seems to be working as an executioner with a background of minimal education. He has also been instrumental to work as a ‘fixer’ for the Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini in the 1980s.  He is also confirmed to have conducted purges in provinces such as Lorestan, Kermanshah and Semnan, according to the Iranian opposition members.

 

Those who have spilled the beans against Raisi belong to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). There have been accounts by survivors of witnessing prisoners being flogged with electric cables in enclosed spaces.  An active death commission was in functioning where Raisi oversaw the execution of many throughout the period of 1980- 1991.

 

Ali Safavi, an official with the foreign affairs committee of the Paris-based NCRI has made a media statement, stating that Iran’s future remains in jeopardy if a person with such a bloody past is allowed to run the government. ““The expected presidency of a mass murderer like Raisi lays bare the real and evil nature of medieval theocracy ruling Iran,” he added.

 

Iran has continued to carry out atrocities on citizens and individuals with dual citizenship. Its prisons are known to be the worst form of human rights abuse known to media and the world. Many countries have fought relentlessly to free its scholars and media captured and imprisoned without fair trial in Iranian prisons for decades.

“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...
