IRAN TARGETING RELATIVES OF BBC REPORTERS

IRAN HAS arrested, questioned and intimidated relatives of journalists working for the London-based BBC Persian Television in its latest crackdown on press freedom, the corporation has claimed.

This comes just two weeks after the arrests in Tehran of documentary film-makers accused of secretly working inside the country for the BBC Farsi-language TV service.

Peter Horrocks, the head of global news at the BBC, said yesterday that relatives and friends of about 10 of the channel’s Iranian staff who work in the UK had been approached by the authorities.

He called on the Iranian government to “repudiate the actions of its officials” and urged the British government to “deter the Iranian government” from attempts to undermine free media.

THERE'S A SIMPLE WAY TO END THIS PRACTICE:

PREEMPTIVELY ATTACK IRAN WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO NEUTRALIZE THEIR NUKE ASSETS, THEIR NAVY, THEIR AIR FORCE AND THE IRG.

THIS WILL LEAD TO REGIME CHANGE.

AND PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST, TOO - BECAUSE IRAN IS THE CHIEF BACKER OF HIZABLLAH AND HAMAS.

IT'S SIMPLE TO DO; IT ONLY TAKES COURAGE.
