Siemens and Nokia case !

Tehran (AsiaNews/Zamaneh) – Isa Saharkhiz, an Iranian political prisoner, has filed an official complaint with the US Federal Court against Nokia Siemens and its subsidiaries, for complicity with the Iranian government in the violation of human rights by the “sale and provision of surveillance technology and equipment for monitoring of wireless networks and the internet to Iran”.

Recently some IT companies are trying to help Iranian government to monitor the wireless activities in Iran . They sale the equipment of that purpose and receive high amount of money.
I believe that this kind of equipment is necessary for government to protect the online transactions and to detect the crimes , but not to monitor the privacy of people just for political aims .
Only those countries can use this equipment that they are developed enough to support the human rights .
The international law organizations must monitor the IT companies and their activities to avoid such shameful activities that happens just for MONEY !
