From: Anti censorship committee In Iran (Iran
Proxy) and undersigned, people who resist for
freedom
We, the undersigned, hereby express our
condemnation of the forthcoming legislation to
implement blanket filtering of Internet traffic in
Iran.
The Iranian Government has systematically and
methodically denied Iranians the ability to speak
freely and communicate with each other and with
people outside of the country, through suppression
of the national press, television, telephone calls
and now the Internet. The free expression of ideas
and opinions is cherished by Iranians, and we hold
this to be a fundamental human right.
We condemn all efforts by governments and
telecommunication firms both within Iran and outside
of the country who implement restrictions to the
free exchange of speech and ideas.
We respectfully request that you place pressure
upon both your local and the Iranian governments to
reinstate free speech and communication on the
Internet, and limit censorship of traffic to
material that is universally, unanimously and
internationally condemned.
Sincerely,
