Iran’s New President and a Duplicitous Claim About Press Freedom July 02, 2021 Share share President of Iran This branch (the judiciary) supports the freedom of the press. The judiciary sees the media as its colleagues and does not oppose fair criticism. False Before his election as Iran’s new president, Ebrahim Raisi was head of the country’s judiciary. And earlier, during 1980s and 1990s, he was a deputy prosecutor in Tehran. In 1988, according to Human Rights Watch, Raisi played a role in the extrajudicial killings of thousands of political prisoners in Iran. Given his new, higher-profile position – along with recent moves in Iran to further restrict speech and media freedom – a statement Raisi made while head of the judiciary is worthy of review.
