Hossein Shariatmadari, director of Keyhan newspaper


Security activities What is said most about Hossein Shariatmadari’s background is his activity as an interrogator of the Ministry of Information under the name “Brother Hossein” and his role in pressuring and suppressing political prisoners who oppose the regime. Akbar Ganji, in his book “Alaijanab Sarkhposh and Alaijanaban Bejaji,”  read Hossein Shariatmadari during the ministry of Ali Fallahian in the Ministry of Information of the Islamic Republic, the head of the department of social assistance of the Ministry. In this regard, there were issues such as the preparation of the interrogation identity program with Saeed Emami and topics such as participation in the interrogation of the accused. The identity and population program to defend the freedom and sovereignty of the Persian nation have been attributed to him. Fundamentalists believe that the opposition media try to show a frightening image of Shariatmadari to those who do not know him closely and do this by repeating the accusation of the interrogator. Budden does, which he has repeatedly denied, while his appearance on a televised debate caused some viewers to marvel at his “calm and logical personality.”
