NCRI – In a move to control all information exchange on the day of the upcoming March 14, Majlis (parliamentary) elections, Vafa Ghafaryan the CEO of the Telecommunication Company of Iran said that all SMS contacts will be controlled by his staff.
"In the run-up to the 8th round of Majlis elections, we will limit all mass SMS messages between citizens to prevent election frauds," said Vafa Ghafaryan.
"Individuals with proper IDs are allowed to have SMS with no problems. However, if we suspect any wrong doing, then the proper authorities will be informed to intervene," he added.
The mullahs’ regime in fear of mass political SMS messages has come up with the idea of banning it altogether. The service is highly popular among university students and widely used at the time of anti-government protests to quickly get the message across.
