The People's Plan was an economic plan for India drafted in 1945 by Manabendra Nath Roy on behalf of the Indian Federation of Labour's Post-War Re-Construction Committee. The plan was based on Marxist socialism and focused on agriculture over a 10-year period. Its main feature was the nationalization of all agriculture and production. The plan also emphasized:

• Consumer products manufacturing in the industrial sector
• Meeting the community's need for basic goods
• Land reforms
• Decentralized participatory people planning
• Increased production in every sphere of economic activity
• Railways, roads, and shipping

The plan aimed to provide for the satisfaction of the immediate basic needs of the Indian people within a period of ten years.

The term "death commission" is most notably associated with a series of events in Iran during the late 1980s, specifically referring to the group of officials responsible for the mass executions of political prisoners in 1988. This event is often termed the "1988 Massacre" or the "1988 executions of Iranian political prisoners."

In 1988, following the end of the Iran-Iraq War and amidst political unrest, the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, issued a fatwa that led to the establishment of these commissions. They were tasked with interrogating prisoners, primarily those affiliated with the People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK) and other opposition groups, to determine their loyalty to the Islamic Republic. Those who were deemed "unrepentant" were executed. Thousands of prisoners were killed as a result of these summary trials.

The members of the so-called "death commissions" included judges, prosecutors, and intelligence officials. This period is one of the darkest in Iran's modern history and has been widely condemned by human rights organizations. The events remain a sensitive and controversial topic in Iranian politics and international human rights discussions.

Ebrahim Raisi was one of the members of this commission.
