History and profile

Mohammad Ali Vakili is the licence holder and managing director of Ebtekar[1][2] which is based in Tehran.[3] The paper has a reformist stance[4] and focuses on political, cultural, social and economic news.[5]

Ebtekar was banned by the media court in April 2014 for "spreading lies" about removal of the prisons' chief, Gholam Hossein Ismaili, due to his violent acts against political prisoners.[6][7] It was the third reformist paper closed down following the presidency of Hasan Rouhani in August 2013.[6] The paper was relaunched four days after its closure on 30 April 2014.[1][8]
