In January 2000 Gholamhossein Karbaschi, former mayor of Tehran, established Ham Mihan after he was released from prison.[1][2] He also ran the paper[3] and was its managing editor.[4]
The chief editor of Ham-Mihan was Mohammad Ghouchani. Mohammad Atrianfar served as the policy director of the paper[5] which was based in Tehran.[6]
The paper backed Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani in the presidential elections held in 2005.[7] It was temporarily closed in May 2000[3][6] and in July 2007 by a court in Tehran.[5] The paper was relaunched in 2009, but was suspended in July 2009.[8]
In September 2013, Karbaschi petitioned the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance to lift the ban on publication and his request was accepted.[4] However, the publication license was not granted.[9]
