Raisi was hired by Khamenei to the high-profile task of judiciary chief in 2019. He was subsequently placed under US sanctions thereafter due to human rights violations. The violations included the role that according to human rights groups, say that Raisi played in the executions of thousands of political prisoners in 1988 as well as the suppressing unrest in 2009.
