More on Ata'ollah Mohajerani
Description from Wikipedia:
Ata'ollah Mohajerani (عطاالله مهاجرانی), born 1954 in Arak, Iran, is an Iranian historian, politician, journalist, and author.
Ata`ollah Mohajerani was Mohammad Khatami's first Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance of Iran. He survived an impeachment by the 5th Majlis which was dominated by the conservatives but eventually resigned due to heavy criticisms by the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, because of his "liberal" policies. He also served as the speaker of the cabinet during that time. He later became the president of the Iranian International Centre for Dialogue among Civilizations, but resigned from the post possibly after ethical allegations. During his ministership, he officially announced and pursued a policy of "leniency" (تساهل و تسامح) towards the field of culture and arts and removed many restrictions. Publishers, film makers, musicians and artists in general, enjoyed vast freedoms (relative to the previous years of the Islamic Republic) during his term in office.
Dr. Mohajerani received his B.S. in History from University of Isfahan, his M.S. in History and Iranian Culture from Shiraz University and his PhD in History from Tarbiat Modares University.
Mohajerani has been a representative from Shiraz in the first round of the parliamentary elections after the Iranian Revolution, where he was among the very critical opponents of Abolhassan Banisadr. Later, he became the Parliamentary Deputy to the Prime Minister Mir-Hossein Mousavi, when he started to write the weekly column Naghd-e Haal in the Ettela'at newspaper, and then Vice President of Parliamentary Affairs under Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.
He is a member and a founder of Executives of Construction Party, which is considered a backer of Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.
