Newspapers
The Special Court for the Clergy, a tribunal appointed by the Supreme Leader, accused Hadi Khamenei's newspaper, Hayat-e No, of "press offenses." The newspaper was accused of insulting Imam Khomeini in a cartoon. In parliament, Hadi Khamenei said that he would have rather died than be accused of insulting the imam. The Special Court for Clergy temporarily banned Hayat-e No in January 2000. According to the Guardian, Hayat-e No is regarded as reliable. According to the Financial Times, Hayat-e No is a pro-reform daily. Hadi Khamenei's other newspaper, Jahan-e Islam, was shut down in 1995. The newspaper was accused of insulting Islamic beliefs and publishing false information. According to The New York Times, Jahan-e Islam was a moderate daily. However, in 1995, The New York Times characterized as Hadi Khamenei's newspaper, Jahan-e Islam, as a "hard-line Islamic newspaper."
