Officials cut Tehran Internet access ahead of major protest


rawstory.com
Most of the Iranian capital's Internet links with the outside world were down on Saturday, two days ahead of planned demonstrations by opponents of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Sources close to Iran's technical services told AFP the cut was the result of "a decision by the authorities" rather than a technical breakdown, but telecommunications ministry officials were unavailable for comment.

Officials furthermore revoked all foreign media permits, in an attempt to block any reports coming out of Tehran between Dec. 7 and Dec. 9.

To this extent and in this way no such thing happens here and comparing the two is propagandstic/dishonest.

Its like saying both an Ocean and a Pond are made of water so they are the same thing.

The last date the paper published was Thursday December 3rd - that does seem odd. When here we have dialy papers. I wonder if they possibly have certain days they publish as opposed to the whole week - i have my doubts.

Indeed, the date is off, but the news itself is upto date. Its as if the date has been placed back for some reason.

What??? So getting hit with rubber bullets, bean bags, tear gas, and tasers isn't restricting the "right to protest"? How about mass arrests and "free speech zones"?

I mean really dude, American prisoners get butt raped, just like Iranian prisoners. You just don't see it on Fox News when it happens here. But, according to you that makes it ok...

I hear ya Sky...

That's one very lopsided comparison they are trying to generate.
I figured the Iranians would do that. No need to let the entire world know whats going on in Paradise.

Does that information mean that officials in Singapore were also responsible for cutting internet access?

And why from three Iranian routers only one looks to have been/is down?
