Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, known for enforcing brutal crackdowns on political opposition and seen as a potential successor to the supreme leader, has died in a helicopter crash landing in the country’s north, state media reported Monday. He was 63 years old. Raisi, a conservative hard-line cleric, took office in August 2021 after several popular candidates were disqualified from the election, which saw historically low turnout.
In 2022, the United Nations’ human rights office opened an investigation into the violent suppression of protesters who took to the streets following Amini’s killing. She died after being detained by morality police for allegedly not wearing her hijab properly and failing to adhere to the dress code. The United Nations said in March that a fact-finding mission found Iran responsible for the “physical violence” that killed Amini, despite Iranian officials saying otherwise.
