 Two weeks after the sham elections in Iran, which saw the election of a
Revolutionary Guardsman-terrorist as the new president, the religious,
terrorist dictatorship ruling Iran has begun jamming the satellite
programs of Simay-e Azadi-Iran National Television in a brazen breach
of the International Telecommunication Union laws and regulations
governing satellite broadcasting.
The jamming began Saturday, July 9 on Hot Bird-2 Satellite, which
Simay-e Azadi uses for its broadcasts. The Jamming came especially
after the call by the Iranian Resistance for the boycott of the
mullahs’ election farce was aired into Iran by Simay-e Azadi and
enthusiastically heeded by the Iranian people.
Earlier attempts by the regime to disrupt the broadcasts using Microwave systems in Iranian cities had failed.
Simay-e Azadi broadcast is received in Iran, Europe, North America, the
Middle East and large parts of Asia and watched extensively by
Iranians. While the clerical regime has been violating the right to
free speech, engaging is systematic censorship and disseminating false
information inside the country, Simay-e Azadi has emerged as the most
credible and active Iranian television network.
By jamming this program, the clerical regime has not only violated the
right to free speech in Iran, but also in large parts of the world.
In the past few years, the Iranian regime jammed satellite broadcasts
of Simay-e Azadi and Simay-e Moghavemat repeatedly. In May, June and
August 1997, June 1998, March 1999 and October 2000, it jammed
PanAmSat, AsiaSat, ArabSat, Eutelsat Hotbird, which aired those
broadcasts.
By relying on technical expertise and precise calculation, an
independent investigation by Britain's DERA Defford (Defense Evaluation
and Research Agency) satellite communications company, based in
Worcestershire, showed that one jamming site was in Chamestan near the
Caspian Sea (northern Iran).
Earlier, a large number of Parliament deputies, political personalities
and advocates of free speech in different countries had urged competent
international agencies to take immediate steps against the mullahs’
outlaw conduct.
The Iranian Resistance urges the UN Secretary General, the
International Telecommunications Union and member-states’ relevant
ministers to undertake immediate action against the clerical regime for
jamming and disrupting satellite communications. This is imperative in
confronting the mullahs’ unbridled terrorism that has now affected
satellite communication. Silence and inaction would only embolden the
terrorists ruling Iran to continue such outlaw behavior.
