| [Iran Press TV Latest] Iran's Judiciary chief Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi-Shahroudi says presidential candidates should refrain from leveling accusations against their rivals on national television. "Leveling accusations against natural persons on national television is a crime, which can provoke legal action," said Ayatollah Shahroudi Monday. His remarks came after certain candidates resorted to leveling accusations against one another ahead of the June 12 polls. Iran's tenth presidential election sees a fierce competition between the incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and a team of heavyweight politicians. Former prime minister Mir-Hossein Moussavi, two-time former Majlis Speaker Mehdi Karroubi and Secretary of Iran's Expediency Council Mohsen Rezaei are challenging the president. |
