Who Assassinated, Saeed Karimian, the GEM TV executive in Istanbul

“Saeed Karimian, the director with 1,001 opponents, from sexual harassment to forced labor,” is the headline used by Iran’s Fars News Agency in its coverage of the murdered 45-year-old media mogul. Among the most contested claims by Fars News on Karimian was his alleged membership in the outlawed Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK), an opposition group responsible for a number of bombings and attacks in Iran. Fars News published a picture of Karimian standing alongside MEK leader Maryam Rajavi.
