Ayatollah Abdul Nabi Namazi (Persian: عبدالنبی نمازی; born 1945)[1] is an Iranian Twelver Shia cleric and politician. He was a member of the 3rd Assembly of Experts of the Islamic Republic of Iran who won re-election for the 4th and 5th Assemblies.
Namazi was formerly 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]
