Michigan Islamic center honors 'Butcher of Tehran,' other Iranian 'martyrs' killed in helicopter crash
A Michigan Islamic center held a memorial Thursday for Iranian leaders, including one known as “the Butcher of Tehran,” who were killed in a helicopter crash last weekend, a move that came amid other tributes that sparked anger given Iran’s ties to global terrorism.
The Islamic House of Wisdom in Dearborn Heights posted a flyer to its Facebook page saying it was standing in solidarity with the people of Iran and advocates of “peace and justice globally” to honor Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi; Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian; Malek Rahmati, the governor-general of East Azerbaijan province in Iran; and Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Al-Hashem, an Iranian jurist, who all died Sunday, as well as a cleric who died separately.
Raisi, Amirabdollahian, Al-Hashem and Rahmati were killed after the helicopter they were in crashed in the Dizmar Forest in Iran’s East Azerbaijan province. They were returning to Tehran after traveling to Iran’s border with Azerbaijan to inaugurate a dam with Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev.

“The global community is grappling with this tragedy, unsure whether it was a catastrophic accidental crash or a deliberate evil act of terrorism,” a mosque flyer states.
The crash killed eight people, including three crew members.
Raisi, nicknamed the “Butcher of Tehran,” was best known for his oversight of mass executions of political prisoners in 1988, which forced Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to install interim leadership for Iran’s executive branch.
The Biden administration and the United Nations Security Council have been criticized for issuing condolences and holding a moment of silence for the victims of the crash despite Iran’s well-documented human rights abuses and its support for terrorism worldwide, particularly against Israel and the United States.

“We have been quite clear that Ebrahim Raisi was a brutal participant in the repression of the Iranian people for nearly four decades,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said Monday. “He was involved in numerous horrific human rights abuses, including playing a key role in the extrajudicial killing of thousands of political prisoners in 1988.
“Some of the worst human rights abuses occurred during his tenure as president, especially the human rights abuses against the women and girls of Iran.”

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Islamic center.
Thursday’s event also honored Ali Al-Kourani, a senior ayatollah in Lebanon, who died on May 19 in Iran. In the flyer, the Islamic center said it was honoring the memories of the “Righteous souls of the Martyrs of the Islamic Ummah,” meaning the Muslim community.

Minnesota police sergeant, father of two, dies suddenly after brain infection
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Minnesota police sergeant and father of two died less than 24 hours after doctors diagnosed him with a brain infection, leaving behind a young family and a stunned community.
Sgt. Cody Siebert, a K-9 officer with the East Range Police Department, died Feb. 27, the department announced. He was remembered as a devoted father, loyal colleague and a fixture in the small northern Minnesota community he served.
Siebert helped launch the K-9 program in Babbitt, Minnesota, alongside his police dog, Taconite, before later joining the East Range Police Department.
“Sgt. Siebert was well known for his happy-go lucky personality,” the department wrote in a Facebook tribute. “It was best said that if you couldn’t get along with Cody, it was your fault.”

“The hole left by Sgt. Siebert’s passing will be impossible to fill,” the department added.
A GoFundMe page launched by Siebert’s family has raised more than $107,000 as of Tuesday evening. He is survived by his life partner, Karen Blais, and their two sons, ages 1 and 2.
“To know Cody was to have a friend. He had a rare gift for connection — if you crossed paths with him, you knew you were in for a genuine conversation. He truly enjoyed people, and his absence leaves a void in our community that will be felt by many,” his family wrote on the fundraising page.

Blais told The Minnesota Star Tribune that Siebert woke up last week suffering from a headache that had begun the day before. He was hospitalized, and doctors determined that an infection in his nasal passage had spread to his brain, according to the newspaper.
“He loved people — being in that position and being able to help people in general,” his brother, Brandon Siebert, told the outlet. “Not just getting the bad guys, going to the school, checking in with people.”
The tragedy comes just months after another loss in the extended family. According to the Star Tribune, Siebert’s sister-in-law, Alyssa Siebert, died last October from a brain aneurysm.

“We’re in a déjà vu of an unusual situation,” said his other sister-in-law, Ashley Siebert. “They both helped others the whole time. They were both great people. They’ve done more than most 30-year-olds have accomplished in their lives.”
Like his sister-in-law, Siebert donated his organs, the newspaper reported.

Mesabi East Schools also paid tribute, remembering Siebert as someone who saw the potential in every student.

“The impact he had on our students and staff cannot be measured. He wasn’t just our K9 officer, he was a mentor, a role model, a friend, and a steady, positive presence in our Giants community,” the school district wrote.
