29th May 2024 - The United Nations has announced it plans to hold a memorial service on the occasion of the death of Ebrahim Raisi, President of the Iranian regime. Dennis Francis, President of the UN General Assembly wrote a letter to Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary General, requesting that a memorial be held to "pay tribute to the memory of the late President of the Islamic Republic of Iran", on 30th May at the General Assembly Hall in New York.
This comes as a number of members of both the UN and the EU Parliament have sent messages of condolences following the death of Raisi and Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, who was the Foreign Affairs Minister of the regime. At the same time, many more representatives have taken to social media with #NotInMyName to show their stance against these condolences.
