Polish Foreign Minister has been ‘shocked’ to see censorship by the Iranian regime during his recent visit to Tehran as important part of his message was not broadcasted by the regime’s media.
Radoslaw Sikorski said publicly at a joint press conference with the Iranian regime Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on March: “I would also like to add that I mentioned to the minister that yesterday from Isfahan I tried to log onto a website of a major Polish newspaper and, unfortunately, I could not do it.”
“I was told that the website was blocked by censorship. For us, coming from a country that fought for freedom of speech, this came as a shock,” Sikorski said.
The Polish foreign minister also stressed to Zarif the need for dialogue on human-rights situation in Iran, and had referred the recent rise in executions.
Later a video was distributed by the Polish Foreign Ministry proving the regime censorship.
