After checking this website and other, I have found that these claims come from Radio Free Asia and others citing these so I am not sure. Haven’t found good sources talking about this.

The election result in Iran for a new president is a grim reminder that ultra-conservative Shia power concentration is in full swing. This concerns the new president being linked to the mass executions of 1988. These executions exceeded several thousands of people – some site tens of thousands – when the Iranian ultra-conservative clergy sought to crush all dissent. Hence, the electoral success of Ebrahim Raisi is bound to raise questions internationally.

Is this true or can I safely dismiss it?

    Lol indeed. You were talking about specific facts. I was dismissing the entire publication outright, unread.

    you say “oh I’ll just dismiss this because it’s misinformation,”

    No I say that I refuse the acknowledge or spend any effort in entertaining a publication with such a poor reputation.

    why would you expect people to listen to what you say?

    Indeed. Entirely my point. You played yourself Mr lol.
