"Ebrahim Raisi, the President of the Islamic Republic, infamously dubbed as the “Butcher of Tehran,” has found to be dead following a helicopter crash in northwest Iran.

Ebrahim Raisi, notorious for his role in the 1988 Death Commission under then-Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini, oversaw the ex*****on of at least 4,500-5,000 political prisoners, consigning them to unmarked mass graves.

In March 2019, Raisi ascended to the position of judiciary chief under Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, laying the groundwork for his virtually uncontested presidential bid in 2021.

Throughout his presidential tenure, Raisi rigorously enforced Iran's compulsory hijab laws.

As the number of lives lost to Israeli bombs goes over 10,000 today, remember each had loved someone, had friends, birthday parties, hopes for the future- People are so sad they're gone. Calling for ceasefire is not complex but the NZ Gov hasn't done it yet.
Please call, email and meet with National MPs, or the PM-in waiting. Let them know how powerful it would be to stand on the right side of history. For every life we save by standing for lasting peace.
