STUDYING THE ROLE OF THE JURY IN THE PRESS CRIMES


Amir NAVAEI LAVASANI
Abstract

From a long time ago, individual freedom, security, equal rights are considered as basic human and citizen rights in democratic societies. Press freedom as a modern democratic pillar is now accepted by the public thought. With respect to the kind of governance it attempts to apply some specific criminal and doctrinal policies to the press freedom using some limitations. The present descriptive-analytical research aims to study the role of the jury in the press crimes using a research library method.  Misunderstanding of press crimes and poor clarification as well as interference of the jury to solve press crimes are considered as democratic ways and the purpose is to apply social conscious for issuing juridical dictums, persisting in the presence of the jury in special press forums, optimizing the use of public thoughts, making a balance between press rights and duties on one hand, and making an alliance among public thoughts and lack of encounter between the government and the press on the other hand. The jury plays a significant role to form an alliance between people and the social body when it is selected and determined in a democratic way and based on its philosophy. There is no legal and practical support for the jury according to the principle of the press freedom regardless of marked affirmation in the constitution before the Islamic revolution.
