Zahra Amir Ebrahimi a Cyber Crimes' Victim (2)

I was searching in internet to find more details about what had happened to this beautiful actress .
I found a link that explains after every one watched that clip , the parliament passed a law that says if any of famous actors or actresses found in a a porno the penalty will be execution .
I was totally shocked !!!
How come ? In producing a porno clip there are lots of people like directors , photographers, camera man and so on . Then why the only person who get the penalty is the actor ?
Another thing is that when you can see the personal movies that people make in their private , in people hands , who has the responsibility of this crimes ?
Where is the law ? what if I found my personal birthday party with my friends and family in people laptops and mobile phones ?
Even when you walk in the street in Tehran some times you can hear that some one is selling the porno CDs , and encourage people to buy that by saying that it's an Iranian clip . Hidden sexy cameras and like this .
Unfortunately these clips are spreading day by day and no body cares about the distributors and producers of this shameful products .

Cyber Wars In Iran


Recently there was a conference in Tehran about the 8 month cyber-warfare against opposition websites .
The following link shows what discussed at this conference .

What I recieved from the issues in this conffeernce is that Iranian government are using the young and smart software engineers to work as hackers and also to find the internal hackers and protect the government cyber space .
What they did from 2005 till now are amazing . If u have a look at link that I mentioned you will find that they are totally strong , they attacked to several huge websites like NASA and also they discovered internal hackers who were responsible for cyber-theft of five million dollars from the banks.
In one point of view it would be great because people will be be sure that the cyber space is secure an they can do all transactions online . But in another point of view it can be an activity against human right in Iran to ignore all disagreement against the government.

The new Iran internet law is suspicious !!!

First lets have a look at these news :

Iran has passed a new internet law that experts fear will make information on internet users more readily available to the authorities.

Press TV, a news channel funded by the Iranian government, said on Monday that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the country's president, has issued an order for the implementation of the law.

According to Press TV, the cyber law would provide internet users with "more security", as internet service providers are required to save all data sent and received by their clients for at least three months.

But critics of the legislation say the stored data would enable the authorities to monitor internet users, including anonymous bloggers opposed to the regime in the Islamic republic.

The new Internet law seems to be a tool for creating more security for internet users , but who can believe that government suddenly mentioned that security of websites and blogs are not satisfiable and they have to think about that ?

Some experts believe that this new law can be a tool for monitoring the internet users to put more limitation on that , as the law says that information must keep for 3 month after the data sent or received by the internet clients to the internet service providers .

One of these activities is political activities that Iranian did during the election and after that .

Internet censorship in Iran

According to the latest news near 20 million people in Iran are using internet and also Iran has the 2nd highest internet users in middle east . At first it was so easy to connect to all websites and use the information that were needed .

After election in Iran specially at Khatami's election and the 2nd of khordad reform movement some bloggers started to use the internet as a weapon to express their ideas . But the government couldn't stand this situation and started to block the websites , web loges and put limitation on using internet .

This situation got worst in Ahmadi nezhad election specially in second election .

Manybloggers, online activities , and technical staff have faced jail terms, harassment and abuse.

Recently, the Iran government required all Iranians to register their web sites in Ministry of art and culture. They also plan to filter all other websites up to 2012 .

Where is privacy ? According to what we have learned in cyberlaw no body can not stop you from what you believe and say , till the time that it's not against the humanity .

This censorship not only makes lots of troubles through the using internet and scientific researches but also is a symbol of breaking the human rights .

I hope one day we see the freedom in all layers of Iranian society.
