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.

War crimes too heavy for the helicopter...

[doet]

Now get ready for a taste of democracy

[ohger]

The problem is that they don't know what kind of despot is going to replace him..

I have met alot of Iranian 🇮🇷 in my course of work. And as a 🇳🇬 Nigerian I can't tell u how much I love these people. They don't deserve the kind of leaders they have at all.

Just like I said: Iranian women are very happy about this. Did you folks really think women would be saddened about the death of a man who ordered crackdowns on them for showing their hair?

[nidmocv]

Take advantage of this time and put a new Iranian Government Iranian people!

[BBFCCO]

I am celebrating with all the oppressed Iranian people.

[sigmasabra]

But then he'll be replaced by a crazier guy.

[russs]

"Iranians celebrate death of Raisi." As is the whole of the CIVILIZED world not behind the Turban Curtain.

[NROULTRA]

You know you are not living your life right if your death is celebrated in this manner

[usmanghani-qjij]

These are all women who wanted freedom and who did not want to wear a dupatta😢

[redenvy]

Khamenei wants his son to be his successor and is it a coincidence that Raisi and his next in line successor died from a helicopter crash ???

[gerrardjones]

What goes around comes around, evil people like this guy was remember that! you may have your time of power for a while and think you've got away with your despicable deeds but you haven't, it'll come back to destroy you sooner or later, so watch and learn, heal yourself and be better!

[jefferywheaton]

So sad, every Persian American I met is smart, funny, open minded...they are in general a wonderful, sophisticated people but they've been held down by this crazy, religious regime. Hope that changes soon.

[najilaaliawar]

I am Iranian my self but its not respectful to celebrate someone's death and You shouldn't always believe what's on the news

[johnf]

The crash-proof turban didn't work.

[ElenaDeOro]

All love to the people of Iran, especially the women!! Rise up sisters! Reclaim your country!!

[patenceto]

The Devil came up to collect his son... That's all.
