Judge Mukasey: Raisi has not denied his participation in #Iran's #1988Massacre. In 2018 he was quoted as saying that the murders committed at the direction of the Death Commissions were “one of the proud achievements of the system.”

Former Iranian political prisoner Sheila Neninavaie:
When I was escaping #Iran, I felt the responsibility of echoing the voice of my fellow cellmates, and those who did not survive.

Ahmad Hassani:
Raisi is directly responsible for the execution of my brother because he was a member of the Death Commission in Tehran, which ordered the execution of political prisoners in Evin and Gohardasht prisons.

Prof. Schneebaum:
Assuming Raisi does attend the UN session this fall, he will be the only person in the room who is required by law to answer charges that he himself was responsible for horrific human rights abuses & crimes against humanity.

Did you know a US citizen, with ties to Soros & the Koch brothers, is linked to virtually every pro-#Iran interest & operations in the US?

Amir Handjani & his partners are funding & running many "think tanks" (lobby groups) & media outlets promoting Tehran in the US. ImageImageImage
@StateDept @NikkiHaley @RichardGrenell @SaraCarterDC @LeeSmithDC @JessieJaneDuff @rising_serpent @FreeBeacon @ChanelRion @skb_sara 2)
Handjani has financial link:

He makes tens of millions of dollars from a grain train with Iran, a deal he’d never land w/o regime/IRGC approval.

In return, he promotes Iran's interests by funding pro-regime outlets & writing in US publications.

There’s a clear quid pro quo. Image

Handjani reportedly made a fortune in business in the Middle East as, among other things, president of PG International Commodity Trading, which, according to public records, conducts sanctions-exempt trade with Iran on behalf of @Cargill. Image

Iranians have launched an online campaign calling on the U.S. government to not issue a visa for #Iran's regime President Ebrahim Raisi as he intends to attend next month's UN General Assembly in New York.

#ProsecuteRaisiNow
#Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi is a mass murderer who played a direct role in Iran's summer #1988Massacre of political prisoners.
Raisi wants to address the UN General Assembly.
The UN is no place for mass murderers.

There was bipartisan pressure from the U.S. on #Iran’s nuclear program until 2015 when the Obama admin threw away all that for nothing, on a belief they could contain the mullahs’ regime.
