Dr Alireza Jamshidi (or Ali-Reza Jamshidi) is an official spokesman for Iran's judiciary, headed by Mahmoud Shahroudi. In that capacity, he holds regular news conferences.[1][2] As he has little other public presence, his name is associated mainly with stories he has promulgated:
- Imprisonment of members of the Baháʼí Faith because of their religion[1][3]
- Prosecution of doctors carrying out HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention programs, apparently because of links with the United States[4]
- Executions of juvenile offenders such as that of Mohammad Hassanzadeh for a crime committed at the age of fourteen years.[5]
- Denial of punishments such as stoning, which he claimed were falsely attributed to Iran by Western media[6]
- Capital punishment for “insulting religious sanctities and laws, and homosexuality.”[7]
