Reporters Without Borders has named Tehran prosecutor general Said Mortazavi as the man who has been orchestrating the crackdown on journalists in Iran and demonstrators since 12 June. The press freedom organisation says he has had a long career as "a human rights predator".
RWB says: "It is Mortazavi who issues the warrants to the intelligence ministry and prosecutor’s office agents who arrest 'suspects'. He prepares the prosecution cases, drafts the indictments and oversees interrogation. On the basis of past experience, we believe he participates actively in interrogation sessions."
