Seyyed Hassan Emami (Persian: سید حسن امامی) was an Iranian Shia cleric and royalist politician. He worked as a judge in the Ministry of Justice and taught law at University of Tehran.[1]
He was regarded as a member of the Mohammad Reza Shah's inner circle, and had close ties to bazaari and traditional classes, as well as Masonic lodges.[1] He supported Reza Shah's secular reforms, despite his family's history of religious conservatism.[2] Emami is described an Anglophile politician and staunchly hostile to Mohammad Mossadegh and his policies.[3] He discarded his religious attire after he returned from Switzerland, where he studied continental law but resumed to wear to wear it when he was appointed as Tehran's Imám-Jum'ih in 1947.[3]
In Iranian legislative election, 1952, Emami stood as a candidate from Kurdish and Sunni city of Mahabad, where he had never been. He was elected with the interference by Artesh, thus Mohammad Mossadegh asked the parliament to reject his credentials but he was affirmed.[4] On 1 July 1952, he defeated the National Front-backed Abdullah Moazzami for the Speaker of the Parliament of Iran.[5] Emami fled the country following the July 21st pro-Mohammad Mossadegh demonstrations and offered his resignation in a message from Geneva.[6]
