Iran censors coverage of slain photojournalist
A hard-line prosecutor has ordered Iranian newspapers to censor their coverage of a trial of a secret agent accused of murdering an Iranian-Canadian photojournalist, journalists said Monday. Speaking to government spokesman Abdollah Ramezanzadeh after his weekly press conference, several reporters said Tehran prosecutor Saeed Mortazavi called their offices and told them to not report on parts of the trial, which ended abruptly Sunday. One journalist said Mortazavi told him, "It's in your interest to consider the murder trial over and avoid publishing things that you should not."Posted by: TS(vice girl) 2004-07-19 |
