Biography

Born in 1948,[1] Namazi was the prosecutor-general for the judiciary of the Islamic Republic[2] and received some notoriety in 2002 when he was criticized by the conservative newspaper Jumhuri Eslami, for "flagrantly" ignoring Supreme Leaders Ali Khamenei's order to review a death sentence handed down to Hashem Aghajari for apostasy for a speech he gave on Islam urging Iranians to "not blindly follow" Islamic clerics...[3][4]

Namazi died on 28 January 2024.[5]
