The Iranian people's Resistance (NCR) and MEK against mullahs in Iran
- Telegram, the worldwide
messaging service, has refused the Iranian regime’s request to filter news
channels sympathetic to the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).
Shohadaye Iran, a state-run
website, reported that recently an outfit of the Iranian regime vigorously
urged Telegram to filter the channels that are sympathetic to the Iranian
Resistance. But it was rebuffed by the cloud-based instant messaging service.
Telegram has responded that based
on the principle of freedom of speech it would not pay heed to this request and
would not shut down or filter these channels, the state-run website reported on
December 31.
Telegram is very popular in Iran
and is widely used by the Iranian youths who try to evade the clerical regime’s
censorship on the internet. According to some news reports, currently Telegram
is the main messaging app and most popular social media platform for Iranians.
Shahin Gobadi, a PMOI spokesman,
said: “The clerical regime’s attempt to urge even foreign companies to filter
the channels sympathetic to the Iranian Resistance clearly manifests the
regime’s fear and anxiety regarding the growing popularity of the Iranian
Resistance at home, in particular among the young Iranians. It is also an
acknowledgement by the regime that despite all the suppression and censorship,
Iranians are eager to connect to the MEK and obtain the Resistance’s news and
information.”
“This is in line with repeated
warnings in recent months by the regime’s senior officials about the growing
popularity and activities of the MEK among the Iranian youths, particularly in
universities,” Gobadi added.
