The head of Iran’s judiciary accused Iranian television station Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) of being one-sided and “destructive” in its criticism of the judiciary.
“I have a complaint against IRIB because some of its programs about the judiciary are 100% destructive,” said Ayatollah Sadegh Larijani June 23. “In these programs, they condemn the judiciary without the presence of [opposing] sides and in a biased manner."
