Aftab-e Yazd (آفتاب یزد lit. "The Yazd Sun") is a Persian-language daily reformist newspaper published in Iran. The title of the paper means “the sun of Yazd” in Persian.[1]
Profile
Aftab Yazd was started in August 2000.[2] The paper, based in Tehran, is affiliated with the Association of Combatant Clerics (of which former President Mohammad Khatami is a leading member).[3][4] The paper focuses on political, cultural, social and economic news.[5]
In June 2005, before the 2005 presidential election, the paper along with another one, Eqbal, published the letter of presidential candidate Mahdi Karroubi to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.[6] Upon this publication both papers were banned for one day by Tehran Public and Revolutionary Court.[6] The daily was also temporarily ceased in June 2009 following the presidential elections.[4] In December 2009 it was again warned by the ministry of culture for publishing "divisive" material.[7]
