Revolution anniversary – 39 years of news control and censorship in Iran

NewsOn the 39th anniversary of the Iranian revolution, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) reiterates its condemnation of the regime’s harassment of journalists and citizen-journalists. Thirty-nine years after the revolution, as young men and women protest in the streets, the Islamic Republic is trying to reinforce its news control both at home and internationally. For the past 39 years, the regime’s control of news and information has been implacable and its persecution of media independence has been unparalleled.
