Iranians celebrate death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash

Iranian dissidents have celebrated the death of the country’s president. Mersedeh Shahinkar and Sima Moradbeigi, protesters who lost eyes and limbs to the country’s strict police, filmed themselves dancing after Ebrahim Raisi was confirmed dead in a helicopter crash. They were joined by the daughters of Minoo Majidi, who raised a glass in memory of their mother who was beaten to death by the Iranian morality police. A mother whose son was put to death in Iran in the last few days was also pictured dancing with her daughter. And fireworks lit up the night sky over Tehran as new of Raisi’s death spread. Raisi was a religious hardliner known as the ‘Butcher of Tehran’ for his role in executing tens of thousands of student demonstrators in the 1980s. He was a favourite of the religious mullahs who rule Iran with an iron fist, but far less beloved by the people he repressed. #dailymail #ebrahimraisi #iran Daily Mail Homepage:
