Persian impediment

According to …Or Does It Explode?, Article 19 have launched a new campaign against internet censorship, and in support of freedom of expression and freedom to impart information on the internet in Iran.

Article 19 have included a useful graphic on their website to show how the system of Iranian tyranny works.

Clearly this will be interesting to those who are defending freedom of religion or belief in Iran. There cannot be true freedom of religion unless people are free to teach others about their faith or belief. Baha’is believe very strongly that everyone has a right (and, indeed, a duty) to seek out truth for themselves. To prevent people from making this search is a terrible form of oppression. Since the Internet is now one of the major sources of information in the world, Internet censorship is an unconscionable form of oppression.
