Abdul-Nabi Namazi

Ayatollah Abdul Nabi Namazi (Persian: عبدالنبی نمازی; 1948 – 28 January 2024) was an Iranian Twelver Shia cleric and politician.

He was a member of the 2nd and 3rd Assembly of Experts of the Islamic Republic of Iran, from Bushehr province.

Born in 1948,[1] Namazi was the prosecutor-general for the judiciary of the Islamic Republic[2] and received some notoriety in 2002 when he was criticized by the conservative newspaper Jumhuri Eslami, for "flagrantly" ignoring Supreme Leaders Ali Khamenei's order to review a death sentence handed down to Hashem Aghajari for apostasy for a speech he gave on Islam urging Iranians to "not blindly follow" Islamic clerics.

[3][4] Namazi died on 28 January 2024.
