27		-	the Basij, a nationwide volunteer paramilitary group 16

41		-	(4) The revolutionary courts, created by Iran’s 3
42		-	former Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini, within 4
43		-	Iran’s judiciary, are chiefly responsible for hearing 5
44		-	cases of political offenses, operate in parallel to 6

49		-	(5) The Iranian security and law enforcement 11
50		-	forces engage in serious human rights abuse at the 12
51		-	behest of the Supreme Leader. 13
52		-	(6) Iran’s President, Ebrahim Raisi, sits at the 14
53		-	helm of the most sanctioned cabinet in Iranian his-15
54		-	tory which includes internationally sanctioned rights 16
