Iranian jurists condemn hypocrisy on freedom of expression

Tehran, Apr 13 (Prensa Latina) Some Iranian jurists on Tuesday condemned US hypocrisy regarding the right to freedom of expression for its assiduous blockade against Iranian media outlets.

In a statement, as many as 3,000 Iranian jurists condemned the systematic suspension of PressTV or HispanTV accounts on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, all in the hands of Western nations.

‘While social media administrators boast of being pioneers of freedom of expression and consider it as a pivotal principle, many users´ accounts are subject to restrictions,’ the document read.

In recent months, Facebook has resorted to baseless indictments to remove Iranian ¨netizens¨ who support Tehran´s policies and oppose Israel.

The statement condemns the double standards of YouTube under the influence US and Israeli governments, which contradicts claims that they are networks defending freedom of expression.
