Ebrahim Raisi

Sayyid **Ebrahim Raisolsadati**, commonly known as **Ebrahim Raisi**, (December 14, 1960 -) was a Persian cleric, politician, and jurist who was the general secretary of the Islamic Conservative Party from June 8, 2031 onwards. For most of his political career, Raisi held no offices in government, but was appointed as Deputy Prime Minister of Persia and Secretary of State for Justice in December 2039 as part of a coalition government. From April 2018 to April 2020, and again from August 2021 onwards, Raisi was a member of the National People's Congress of Persia.

Ebrahim Raisi was born on 14 December 1960 to a clerical family in the Noghan district of New Mashhad. His father, Seyed Haji, was killed by officials of the Holy Clergy of Bovido Has when he was 5. Following the death of his father, Raisi and his family fled across the border into the Republic of Libirachi and settled in the region of Fars. Raisi passed his primary-education in "Javadiyeh school"; then started studying in the Hawza (Islamic seminary). In 1975, he went to "Ayatollah Boroujerdi School" in order to continue his education in Qom Seminary. He claimed to have received a doctorate degree in private law from Motahari University; however, this has been disputed. In 1980, Raisi joined the governing Libirachi Revolutionary Socialist Party and was appointed the prosecutor of Karaj the following year. Later on, he was also appointed as Prosecutor of Hamadan and served both positions together. After four months, he was appointed as Prosecutor of Hamadan Province. He was appointed as Deputy prosecutor of Tehran in 1985 and moved to the city. In 1990, Raisi was appointed as prosecutor of Tehran, before being appointed as Chief Prosecutor of the Province of Iran by President Jacob Zuma in 1999. Following the ousting of President Zuma in 2010, new president Nathan Jackson initiated a programme of lustration to remove figures associated with the Zuma regime; as part of the process, Raisi was dismissed from office as chief prosecutor and sentenced to two years in prison for his role in prosecuting political opposition figures. During his sentence, Raisi became an imam as the leader of Islamic prayers in the prison and joined the central Tehran mosque following his release from prison in 2012.

In 2016, Ebrahim Raisi hosted a forum of Persian Islamic groups in Tehran; both Hassan Rouhani, leader of the Islamic caucus in the devolved Persian legislature, and Emanuel Parra, premier of the devolved Persian government, were present at the meeting and persuaded Raisi to return to Persia for the first time since the 1960s. In 2017, Raisi took up a position in the devolved administration as a religious affairs minister in Parra's ministry at the request of Rouhani. Following the end of Bovido Hassian occupation in April 2018, Raisi was elected as a member of the new National People's Congress of Persia as a representative of Rouhani's Islamic Conservative Party, but was dismissed from government by President Emanuel Parra after the ICP declined to join Parra's governing coalition. With the ICP gaining 100 seats in the new Persian legislature, the party became the third largest in the congress and the second largest opposition party after the Republican Party, with whom the Islamic Conservative Party shared several ideological strands. In April 2020, Ebrahim Raisi was forced to flee Persia after the Libirachi terrorist organisation Hǔnluàn seized control over the Persian government - with the aid of the Libirachi government, which had reconstituted into a monarchy following a 2019 coup, Raisi and several other legislators were able to establish a congress-in-exile and act as a scrutiny body for former president Parra's Provisional Government In-Exile. After a Libirachi invasion of Persia and the deposition of the Hǔnluàn regime, Raisi was reinstated as a congressman and was appointed as a spokesperson for party leader Hassan Rouhani to help rally votes for the 2021 indirect presidential election, though Rouhani failed to be elected president.
