Hosseini Khorasani, Seyyed Ahmad

Member of the Guardian Council and the Assembly of Experts, which are sanctioned by the Canadian government for human rights abuses. As the Canadian foreign ministry noted, the Council is “an entity that blocks meaningful participation in Iran’s elections by disqualifying candidates who do not align with the regime’s ideology and upholds laws that systematically violate the human rights of Iranians," and the Assembly is "an entity implicated in gross and systematic violations of human rights for its neglect in upholding constitutional provisions such as Article 38, which forbids torture."¹
