Descriptions

President of the Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation (since Jul 2019). Former deputy custodian of Imam Reza shrine. Former Official of the Special Clerical Tribunal. Former Minister of Justice from 2009 to 2013. During his time as Minister of Justice, prison conditions within Iran fell well below accepted international standards, and there was widespread mistreatment of prisoners. In addition, he played a key role in threatening and harassing the Iranian diaspora by announcing the establishment of a special court to deal specifically with Iranians who live outside the country. He also oversaw a sharp increase in the number of executions in Iran, including secret executions not announced by the government, and executions for drug-related offences.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Alors qu'il était ministre de la justice, les conditions carcérales en Iran étaient loin de respecter les normes admises au niveau international et les prisonniers ont d'une manière générale été victimes de mauvais traitements. En outre, il a joué un rôle clé dans l'intimidation et le harcèlement de la diaspora iranienne par l'annonce de la création d'un tribunal spécial compétent pour juger les Iraniens qui vivent en dehors du pays. Il a également contribué à une nette augmentation du nombre d'exécutions en Iran, y compris les exécutions secrètes qui ne sont pas annoncées par le gouvernement et les exécutions pour des infractions liées à la drogue
