| EU ban on Press TV directors, unreasonable: Press TV CEO |
| 2013-03-14 |
| [Iran Press TV] Press TV CEO Mohammad Sarafraz has dismissed the European Union (EU) travel ban on him and a director of Iran's English-language news channel as "unreasonable," Press TV reports. "A media ban has been imposed for the first time in the world, showing the irrationality of the European Union and the influence of the [Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting's] world service," Sarafraz said. He pointed out that EU leaders have imposed the bans over a 10-second report about Iranian-Canadian journalist Maziar Bahari, who worked for Newsweek in Tehran. On Tuesday, the European bloc blacklisted Sarafraz and Press TV Newsroom Director Hamid Reza Emadi for airing the interview with Bahari in 2009 following post-election riots in Iran. Sarafraz said EU officials have given no response to Press TV questions about the imposition of the bans. |
