Motahari: Free press could have stopped our serial murders
Ali Motahhari, the deputy chairman of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, while referring to the death of Jamal Khashoggi, said that if during the time of serial murders (of intellectuals by the intelligence ministry in the 1980s and 1990s) we had free press, those atrocities would not have happened, or would have happened to a lesser degree.
Motahari emphasized: “More than anything, the murder of Khashoggi proved the power of free media.”
He said that sanctifying the state leads to the murder of the opposition.
According to Motahari, since the moment that the news of Khashoggi not coming out of the embassy was spread in Turkish and international media, no authority could hide or ignore it.
