The Brisbane Times of Australia has published an article written by its senior reporter who accompanied Australian foreign minister during a visit to Tehran.
Daniel Fleton, the senior reporter of The Brisbane Times describes, in his article, the Iranian regime as a 'religious dictatorship' and writs: Iranian people in Tehran told us that the Iranian government does not represent the Iranian people, and these two, are two separate things.
This reporter said: as we were receiving our travel documents from the Iranian embassy to travel to Iran, they warn us not to cross our line by talking or interviewing ordinary people. We were told that we are only allowed to publish news on the Australian foreign minister’s visit and her comments, and therefore every other coverage of the situation in Iran or people’s viewpoints is off-limits.
He said in addition to the Iranian authorities, we also were warned by our own Australian embassy in Tehran not to take pictures or interview ordinary people out of the subject of this visit, because if we did, there are threats of being arrested and detained by the Iranian regime.
In his article, he points out that according to the announcement of Reporters without Borders; the Iranian regime is on the bottom of the list of countries suppressing press freedom which is 173rd amongst 180 countries across the world.
