The demonstrators said more than 3,000 individuals have been executed during the term of incumbent President Hassan Rouhani. Rouhani is a candidate for a second run at the office of President, but is not Khamenei’s main choice.

Demonstrators said Khamenei’s informal candidate for the Presidential Election, Ebrahim Raisi, was a member of the Death Commission and played a major role in the 1988 massacre.

Sham Elections in Iran

“The election is between imposters and mass killers, the so-called election absolutely will not elect the people’s representatives, and the sham election will be boycotted by Iranians.” “By holding this election, Supreme Leader Khamenei seeks to further concentrate his regime on the war in Syria, and instability in the region and suppression in Iran,” one graduate student said.

“Considering the powder-keg nature of Iran’s society, the officials’ main concern is the growing gap caused by the struggle for power in the regime and an uprising similar to the one that occurred in 2009,” he added.

“The candidates are two sides of the same coin in the religious dictatorship in committing crimes, warmongering, terrorism and plundering the nation’s wealth and should be brought to justice for genocide and crimes against humanity,” another university student said.
