Sarafraz said during a ceremony to mark the first anniversary of Iran's Spanish-language news channel, Hispan TV, in Tehran on Wednesday.
"If a news channel comes and it is an alternative news channel, then the Zionist system wants it removed," he added. The event comes after the Spanish government ordered Madrid's regional government to stop Hispan TV's broadcast as of January 21 in another blow to freedom of speech. Hispan TV, along with Iran's 24-hour English-language news channel, Press TV, have been already targeted by Hispasat's fellow European satellite providers Eutelsat and Hotbird.
Hispasat is partly owned by Eutelsat, whose French-Israeli CEO is blamed for the recent wave of attacks on Iranian media in Europe. The IRIB vice president denounced the move as a violation of freedom of speech and said, "The US talks about being the biggest advocate of human rights, free speech and democracy, yet it supported dictators and kings of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain." "It is worried about losing power in the Middle East especially since many of its allies such as [ousted] Egypt's Hosni Mubarak and Tunisia's dictator bin Ali and others have been removed from power," Sarafraz pointed out.

ReplyDeleteI hardly noticed that a few years have passed since I used a TV. 30 plus repetitive years of it gave me the picture. When I come across it today or become nostalgic for past productions, given the benefit of the foresight received by the exposure of current events, I am sickened.
Turn it off. Post or prompt me to post anything out of their shill remit and actually worth knowing. Please. And for goodness sake support alternatives like Press TV. If they are shills or not, I do not require others to make that decision for me.
