Description

"Mohammad Taghi Naghdali is a member of the Iranian Parliament and member of the Parliament’s legal commission. During the 2022/2023 protests, he has been particularly vocal in his support for the death penalty for arrested protesters, using the parliament as a platform to vehemently promote and call for their executions. He also frequently attacks the free press and is involved in drafting laws to restrict the free flow of information. He is therefore responsible for serious human right violations in Iran."1
