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.
