Ensieh Khazali or Ensieh Khaz'ali (Persian: انسیه خزعلی; born 1963) is an Iranian politician and Vice President for Women and Family Affairs of the President of Iran in the 13th government.

Scandals

[edit]

While Ibrahim Raisi's government is known for broadening online censorship in Iran, Khazali’s son emigrated to Canada and created a company that sells virtual private networks (VPNs), which many Iranians use to bypass state censorship of the Internet. Khazali herself is an advocate of limiting Iranians' access to the Internet.[9][10]
