"At long last, we can exhale with relief" - My father was killed by Raisi's orders.
Raisi served as president during the Iranian government. He was infamously dubbed the "1988 mass executioner."
His hands were stained with the blood of countless innocents, including my own father. He protested against the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Raisi ordered his execution in 1988, sending our family into a world of sorrow, agony, and dread.
The so-called "trial" lasted merely a few minutes. My father was unable to defend himself and had no legal representation. Sentenced to death, he was executed and we had to pay for the bullet used to kill him.
He was only 35 years old.
When I was just two years old, my sister hadn't even been born yet, and Raisi ended my father's life. For many years, my mother continued to be haunted by the psychological torment. The endless fear and perpetual terror eventually reduced her to a weight of 36 kilograms.
Today, after all those years of pain, we can finally let out a deep sigh of relief. Our ordeal has come to an end, and my mother can finally feel at ease and rest peacefully.
The uncertainty during the 18 hours prior to the confirmation of the helicopter crash left many of us on edge. Some among us had wished that Raisi would be brought before an international court and held responsible for his actions.
Upon his presidency, he declared openly in a news conference that he had no regrets for his deeds.
When Iranian state TV announced his death at 6:30 AM German time this morning, my mother broke down in tears. It was not tears of joy over a human's death, but rather relief that Raisi would no longer be able to end anyone else's life. No more women would be raped in the Islamic Republican prisons under his reign. No more political prisoners would be tortured.
Today, I reflect on the countless Iranians from whom Raisi stole their parents. I reminisce about my father, no longer able to protect.
