Iran’s New Judiciary Chief Has a History of Human Rights Abuses
On July 1st, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei appointed conservative hardliner Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei to Iran’s highest judicial position in a move that signals darker times ahead for the Iranian populace. Ejei, like the outgoing judiciary chief and President-elect Ebrahim Raisi, has a longstanding history of blatant human rights abuses that date back to the early years of the Islamic Republic.
