Censorship fears rise as Iran blocks access to top websites


Robert Tait in Tehran
Monday December 4, 2006
The Guardian

Iran yesterday shut down access to some of the world's most popular websites. Users were unable to open popular sites including Amazon.com and YouTube following instructions to service providers to filter them.

Similar edicts have been issued against Wikipedia, the internet encyclopaedia, IMDB.com, an online film database, and the New York Times site. Attempts to open the sites are met with a page reading: "The requested page is forbidden."

The clampdown was ordered by senior judiciary officials in the latest phase of a campaign that has seen high-speed broadband facilities banned in an attempt to impede "corrupting" foreign films and music. It is in line with a campaign by Iran's Islamist president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to purge the country of western cultural influences.

This is completely irrelevant but I was looking at the Asian games website before and found out Iraq actually has a women's beach volleyball team (and yes they even play without the burkas). They're 2 girls from the same family, cousins I think, but they might be playing the wrong sport since they both have the surname 'Agassi'.
I hope they don't live in Iraq because they might have some of those retarded religious militia thugs knocking on their door when they get back home.

dunno guess they didn't wanna push it too far with the religious authorities back in Iraq, they wore even more conservative outfits in their 2nd game. But there are a few other non-muslim teams wearing the same.

Oh and apparently they're sisters not cousins, Liza and Lida Agassi, although for some reason they each spell their family name differently.

I recently watched the Zanzibar Womens Football Team beat the **** out of the (male) Kenyan Police team, it was an absolute drubbing. For supposedly repressed women, those bitches were crazy.

Iraq is a secular democracy but only in theory. In practice you've got armed miltias roaming the streets smashing up liquor shops, attacking non-veiled women and bashing up cinema and video shop owners for 'promoting pornography'. That's why it's the last place you'd expect would have a women's volleyball team, specially as no other Asian middle-eastern country has sent a team to the games.

Even though these girls are Assyrian (ie, Christian) they could still be shot or have one of their family members kidnapped because of this.

As for Andre Agassi, from what I could gather his father is half-Assyrian half-Armenian but born in Iran, while his mother is American of French ancestry.
