Raisi committed many crimes while he was alive. Some of them are considered “crimes against humanity”. But this article does not intend to deal with these crimes. Here are the cases of human rights violations that were caused by “Raisi’s death!” Yes, Ebrahim Raisi, if not himself, but his name, even after his death, continues to suppress and create an atmosphere of terror, to trample on the rights of citizens and violate the right of Iranians to freedom of speech.
A cursory review of the reports published by regime-affiliated media, human rights sources, and social media users, shows that since Raisi’s death, in the past 10 days, the regime has arrested at least 18 people for “not mourning Raisi’s death”. The Islamic Republic has summoned hundreds of people, interrogated them, and filed legal cases against them. They have sealed businesses, removed online pages, and blocked citizens’ bank accounts. Thousands of people have been threatened and intimidated by the mercenaries of intelligence agencies via phone calls.
Let’s take a look at Raisi’s “post-helicopter” crimes:

Meanwhile, Dennis Francis, the head of the general assembly of the organization, went to the representative office of the Islamic Republic on Thursday, May 23, and expressed his condolences.
