Saeed Mortazavi Tehran’s former prosecutor and managing director of social security in Tehran has been sentenced to 135 lashes on charges of “illegal seizing and neglect of duty”. This is an act only to cover up the inhuman crimes of Iran Regime’s.
Reuters reported that Zahra Kazemi, an Iranian-Canadian photo journalist, died in Tehran’s Evin prison in 2003 in the midst of this crackdown on critical media. The Canadian government said Kazemi was tortured to death and accused Mortazavi of direct involvement.
During Mortazavi’s tenure, three detainees were killed and many tortured in Kahrizak prison in 2009, according to human rights campaigners. The three had been jailed for taking part in street unrest over allegations of fraud in the re-election of then-president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad , a Mortazavi ally.
Mortazavi was acquitted of charges related to the deaths of the three Kahrizak prisoners in 2014 but banned from holding public office for five years.
In the investigation report of the regime’s parliament on the Social Security Organization in December 2013, Saeed Mortazavi, former head of the Social Security, was accused of widespread financial violation and irregularities. Subsequently, a number of workers and employees filed complained against him on charges of “embezzlement and breach of trust.”
