Iran president targeted with 'crimes against humanity' complaint ahead of Swiss visit

A legal complaint filed in Switzerland seeks the arrest and prosecution of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi for crimes against humanity related to the 1988 purge of dissidents. Raisi is expected to participate in the United Nations Global Refugee Forum in Geneva. The complaint, filed by three victims of Iran's crackdown in the 1980s, alleges that Raisi was involved in acts of genocide, torture, and extrajudicial executions. A parallel international campaign is also demanding Raisi's prosecution and expressing outrage at his participation in the UN forum.
