The Persian-language journal Majlis ( Persian: مجلس, lit. 'Parliament / Assembly'; DMG: Maǧlis) was published in Tehran between 1906 and 1908. A total of 325 issues was edited in one volume.
The first issue of Majlis appeared on 25 November 1906. [1] Each issue consisted of eight pages and was distributed free of charge. [2]
Majlis was considered to be the journal of the Persian Constitutional Revolution and the mouthpiece of the parliament. [3] It was dedicated to publishing parliament's negotiations and their results directly and unfiltrated to the public. [2] [4] A liberal reformer, Mirza Mohsen Mojtahed who was also known as Agha Mirza Mohsen was its founder and editor. [2] [3] Its chief editor was Seyed Mohammad Hosseini Tabatabaei. [2]
The magazine provided as much information about the rural dimension of the revolution as about the socio-economic situation in the country at that time as well as the various strikes and protests. [4] Letters to the editor also reflected the prevailing controversies between intellectuals, conservatives and the peasantry on various political issues. [4] During the period of its publication, the magazine was not subject to any state censorship unlike other publications such as Nida-yi Vatan. [2] [5]
