Good article. I particularly liked hearing about the number of people who have (or at least had) satellite dishes. They'll never be able to destroy them all, which means they'll never be able to completely shut out information from the outside world. This being the case, I believe the regime is doomed.
"...that have the potential to reach the estimated 7 million Iranians with illegal satellite dishes."
Keep fighting! Your intelligence and tech knowledge will beat these backward mullahs.
Two Newspaper Editors Are Jailed in Tehran
By REUTERS 7.6.2003
TEHRAN, July 6 (Reuters) — An Iranian press court jailed two editors today after their newspaper published a photograph of an exiled Iranian opposition leader, the ISNA student news agency reported.
Iraj Jamshidi, editor in chief of Asia Financial Daily, and his wife, Saghi Bagherinia, who is the paper's managing editor, were imprisoned after failing to post a combined bail of 2.5 billion rials or about $316,000, the agency said.
The press courts of Iran are a branch of the mainstream public courts. Iran's hard-line judiciary has closed scores of liberal newspapers in the past three years.
Asia Financial Daily published an article and photograph on its front page on Saturday about the release from jail in France of Maryam Rajavi, the leader of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, which is the political wing of the People's Mujahedeen.
"We were charged with propaganda against the system for publishing a picture and an article," Mr. Jamshidi told ISNA before he and his wife were taken to prison.
The Paris-based group Reporters Without Borders said last week that nine journalists had been arrested in Iran since mid-June, bringing to 17 the number of journalists in jail there.
