Saeed Toosi

Saeed Toosi (Persian: سعید طوسی, romanized: Saʿīd Tusi) is a prominent Iranian Qur'an reciter and teacher.

[7] In October 2016, VOA-PNN shed light on Toosi's case in which he was accused of sexually abusing nineteen[8] of his prepubescent Qur'an students over the past years (four plaintiffs are confirmed).

[2][3] Senior members of the Iranian government, including Ali Khamenei, tried to "cover up the scandal for four years when the victims and their families filed complaints with the judiciary."

[9] The anonymous plaintiffs claim that complaints made through legal channels were covered up or ignored by the authorities in order to protect the reputation of the Iranian government.

The allegations were "aimed at discrediting the state’s religious foundations and its supreme leader, Ali Khamenei," Toosi said.
