Censorship and Freedom of Speech

JJ and other admin,
Freedom of speech/expression is an absolute right in this society.

In your site you pretend to be an advocate of it by saying nothing is scared (what a joke!). Practically you are much worse than Mullahs. They don’t know anything better, you know and with your censorship with no real reason, downgrading yourself to the same level as mullahs!

This is my opinion that 'Ying Yang Paintings' in main page of Iranian.com is a trashy painting, and you don’t have any tolerance to hear it.

Go head again and delete my comment again as you did for past 12 hours.

Now is not the painting anymore it is your action and censorship that portrait you to the same low level as Mullahs.

Ardavan Mofid's Contributions to Iranian Stage

by Nazy Kaviani on Thu Feb 21, 2008 07:46 PM PST

Thank you very much Shapour, for putting this oral history of Iranian theatre in the US together. Mofid family have indeed made many contributions to Iranian culture, music, and arts and each member of this fascinating family continues to hold stories previously unheard. Ardavan Mofid's commitment to Iranian theatre and specially to the art of Naghalli is much appreciated. Thank you for recording this commitment in history.
