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.

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

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?

I knew they'd be happy, but I thought they would be too afraid to celebrate openly.

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.
