He made his bones judging, torturing and killing Iranians. Lightly referred to in his post-mortem Western media bios as “ having a reputation for repression”
He led trials after the ‘88 Iran-Iraq war where any political prisoner suspected of disloyalty got a 3 question, 5 minute “ trial” before he decided if they lived or died. Thousands are estimated to have been executed.

Yesterday he faced the real supreme justice of the universe.

An excerpt

“Before becoming president in 2021, the ultraconservative had been the head of the judiciary.

A year after assuming the presidency, he ordered a crackdown on women’s dress codes. That led to the arrest of a young Kurdish woman, Mahsa Amini, whose headscarf had not properly covered her hair, in line with the country’s “hijab and chastity” law. Amini’s death in custody sparked nationwide protests that resulted in hundreds of deaths, according to human rights groups, and were seen as one of the most serious threats to the Islamic regime since it came to power in the 1979 revolution.

Since those protests died down, the regime has recently launched a new crackdown on women’s dress codes, which human rights group Amnesty International has described as a “war on women.”

Raisi was known for his part in 1988 extrajudicial killings

The brutal repression of the protests was not the first time Raisi had been accused of ruthlessly crushing dissent. Rights groups have said that as a young prosecutor in 1988, he sat on what became known as “death committees” which ordered the execution of political prisoners.

Raisi sat on the panel in Tehran, which rights groups say ordered the execution of hundreds of enemies of the Islamic regime: Amnesty International estimates that nationwide, around 5,000 people were put to death.”

If you think my wrath is bad while while still here on the earth in a physical body, wait until I’m free of my body and can get inside your head to torment you. Many prayers on the other side were answered today.
