Khordad (newspaper)

Khordad (newspaper)

"Khordad" was a newspaper published by Abdollah Noori. It was shut down by Iran Special Clerical Court and its editor-in-chief, Abdollah Noori, was sentenced to jail for five years. After this newspaper was closed by Iranian Conservatives another newspaper, namely Fath was published by Yadollah Eslami and Abdollah Noori's Colleagues in Khordad.

The name of the liberal reformist newspaper is a reference to the "2nd of Khordad Movement", the Iranian reform movement. The word 'Khordad' is the New Persian continuation of Middle Persian "Hordad", from Avestan Haurvatat "wholeness."
