Aseman newspaper case
Aseman (Sky), a reformist newspaper was shut because of an interview with Bavand after just one week of publication. The closure was done after Davoud Hermidas-Bavand described eye-for-an-eye punishment as "inhumane."[2] Aseman was aligned with the country’s new president Hassan Rouhani. Former reformist president, Mohammad Khatami, had endorsed the paper in a letter published in its first edition, saying, “Whenever the space for life tightens; whenever the land dries up and is deprived of water,” people “lift their eyes to the sky to keep hope alive.”[3]
According to the Prosecutor's office, "The newspaper was banned for spreading lies and insulting Islam."[4]
