Talk:Hossein Shariatmadari/Archive 1

Jewish heritage?

What the hell
How can this page be allowed to exist when there is no source and some biased source from Iranian media that is in IRAN and under strict control??? Wikipedia needs IQ tests. --JavidShah (talk) 14:37, 31 March 2009 (UTC)


 * i agree. following part is also absolutely not credible, cause its base on a regular webblog: "He and his paper are against 2009 after election protests in Iran. And also ignoring all of its aspects. For example, while the mayor of Tehran said three million people had marched in the silent protest following the stolen election, according to Keyhan no protests took place anywhere in Iran that week.[4]" i will delete that point!--Bellicosus (talk) 18:47, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

The first sentence of the "Controversies" section states Mr. Shariatmadari has been accused of torturing prisoners, however the source cited (Reference #5) at the following URL does not have anything to do with what is stated. Thus without any reliable reference, this line should be removed to prevent slander against a living individual as per Wikipedia rules.

 * Yes check.svg Done I have removed the sentence in question per WP:BLP as the above is a good-faith challenge to uncited contentious information about a living person. I have no prejudice against re-adding the sentence if a proper reliable source can be found. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 18:39, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

There are resources in Persian language indicating that Hossein Shariatmadari makes people confess by torture. There are many evidence that the tortured and imprisoned Persian intellectuals were first accused unreliably in different ways in Kayhan newspaper. Shariatmadari is the managing Editor of the mentioned conservative newspaper. Please see the following paragraphs from the tagged sources about supporting the issue and add this very important part of his life to the article:

Quote from the link: "The second phenomenon was tavvab saazi: forcing prisoners to repent for their "sins" and accepting the reactionary version of Islam that the interrogators and the tavvab saazaan -- the interrogators who "converted" the prisoners and put them back on the "right" path to "redemption" -- were feeding them with. Some of the prisoners became tavvab, they repented to save their lives; they had not really set aside their beliefs. A small number became tavvab and began serving their masters. The majority refused to "repent." Hossein Shariatmadari, the dreaded managing editor of Kayhan, the hardliners' mouthpiece, and Saeed Emami, the notorious gang leader who was responsible for the murder of scores of dissidents and intellectuals from 1988-1998, were two such tavvab saaz."

You can also find more about the term "tavvab" in the following link: http://publishing.cdlib.org/ucpressebooks/view?docId=ft3s2005jq&chunk.id=d0e6259&toc.id=d0e6259&brand=ucpress

There are also websites in persian revealing that shariatmadari's reletive and writer of Kayhan was recently arrested on charges of spying for Israel.
