Hayat-e-No (Persian: حیات نو‎‎, New Life in English) was a Persian reformist newspaper published in Iran. It was banned in December 2009.

History and profile

Hayat-e-No was established in Tehran following the closure of another reformist paper, Azad.[1] The publisher of Hayat-e-No was Hadi Khamanei, brother of the Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei.[1] Hameed Qazwini was the editor-in-chief of the paper.[2] When Bahar, a reformist daily, was banned in August 2000 Hayat-e-No became one of the most significant media outlets for the reformist groups in the country.[3] During this period Hayat-e-No had a circulation of 300,000 copies.[3]

In June 2005, before the presidential election, the paper along with other reformist papers, including Aftab Yazd and Eqbal, published the letter of presidential candidate Mahdi Karroubi to Ali Khamenei.[4][5] Upon this publication the papers were banned for one day by Tehran Public and Revolutionary Court.[4][6]

Hayat-e-No supported Mir Hossein Mousavi in the 2009 presidential elections held in June.[7][8] In the immediate aftermath of the elections the paper was censored by the Iranian government.[2] In December 2009 the license of the paper was revoked by the Press Supervisory Board “for working outside the regulations”[7][9] and on 7 December it was closed down.[8]

Hayat-e-No and four other publications, namely Etemad Melli, Sarmaye, Arman and Farhang-e Ashti, were all close to the Green Movement[10] and shut down by the Media Supervisory Board in the same period.[11]
