The WE.CAMPAIGN calls to Boycott the Tribute to Raisi’s death “ the Butcher of Tehran”

Dear Members of the United Nations,

This letter is written with profound shock and utter disgust as we learn of the United Nations General Assembly's decision to "pay tribute" to Ebrahim Raisi, the President of Iran known infamously as the Butcher of Tehran. This, after the Security Council stood for a moment of silence and the UN flag was lowered in his memory upon his death, leaves us baffled and deeply disheartened.

The UN, an institution founded to prevent atrocities and uphold human rights, now appears to salute mass-murdering dictators. This is a complete betrayal of its founding principles and a reprehensible endorsement of violence and oppression.

Ebrahim Raisi’s regime has been responsible for the brutal repression and mass murder of countless innocents. The notion of honoring him is not only an insult to the victims but a gross affront to justice and humanity. It raises a disturbing question: who will be honored next, Bin Laden? Hitler? Such actions not only deeply offend but confer a dangerous legitimacy upon the despicable actions of tyrants.

The Iranian people, along with the global community that values human rights and justice, are outraged and appalled by this insensitive and morally bankrupt decision. The Security Council and the General Assembly, in choosing to remember Raisi with a moment of silence and tributes, betray those who suffered under his brutal regime.

We urge all members of the United Nations to reflect deeply on the implications of this decision and choose to uphold the principles of dignity and justice. We call upon you to boycott the upcoming General Assembly meeting intended to honor Ebrahim Raisi. Stand in solidarity with the victims of his atrocities and reject the notion that such actions by the UN can go unchallenged.

Let it be clear that such disgraceful actions by the United Nations do not reflect the values of those who strive for peace, justice, and the protection of human rights. This is an opportunity for the UN to correct its course and reaffirm its commitment to its noble mission.

Respectfully,

The WE campaign has gathered millions of signatures highlighting the perceived illegitimacy of the Islamic regime in Iran. However, the United Nations continues to ignore the voices of the Iranian people and, controversially, pays tribute to Ebrahim Raisi’s death
