Students want to sue Khatami over blocked Website.
July 15 - Students of Tehran's Amir Kabir university want to sue President Mohammad Khatami and his government over the university's website which is blocked to internet users in Iran, according to a letter addressed to Khatami Monday.
"Mister President, as a minister from your reformist cabinet has ordered the website of our university to be filtered, we ask you to revise this decision and at the same time reserve the right to take legal actions," the students said in the letter, a copy of which was sent to the foreign press in Tehran.
The telecommunications ministry has blocked several sites on the Internet, including that of the Amir Kabir university, which are categorised as either unethical or counter-revolutionary and against national security. We regret that access to many pornographic sites are easier than that of an acknowledged and registered students group," the students said.
While blocking pornographic sites may seem understandable for an Islamic state, the blocking of local and foreign news sites as well as on-line dailies and magazines are seen by the students as a sign of failure in Khatami's doctrine./
