Ahmadinejad camp brazenly assaults Iranian judiciary
Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s inner circle launches a rare and brazen frontal assault on the judiciary.
TEHRAN, Iran — Former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his inner circle have been at the center of a storm on the Iranian political stage in recent weeks, with senior aide Hamid Baghaei hurling brazen accusations of rights abuses at the judiciary.
Baghaei, a former vice president for executive affairs, made the accusations on July 26 after being released from 18 days in detention, his second imprisonment without any charge. Law enforcement officers first arrested him in June 2015, only freeing him after seven months.
